Attributing God's Will To Events

There might be a strong desire in some people to believe that every event in their life, maybe not even their own actions, but the occurrences outside of their control, is personally dictated by God.  Yielding to this desire and allowing it to shape one's beliefs would be irrational both because it is not an idea that can be logically proven and because, for those who think they are adhering to a Biblical worldview in believing this, the Bible does not go anywhere near as far as plenty of people seem to think when it comes to saying that God interacts with people.  Even in the various Biblical stories, God's actual intervention in or interference with human lives is not constant, hardly something that is relentless and overt across every person's life, especially since permitting something and knowing or foreknowing it do not cause things to happen--but I am not even speaking merely of the issue of free will, but the issue of whether God is actively shaping everyone's circumstances on a regular basis or simply at all.

If something objectively fortunate or even subjectively preferred occurs, a certain kind of person would make the unverifiable assumption that God was behind it--not in the sense of having created the universe and allowed for their life to come into being during which they will have the experience in question, but in the sense of directly causing it because it was God's will to do so.  There are also theists who will attribute God's will to random objective misfortunes or subjectively unwanted events and potentially assume that this is how God expresses displeasure (at most, only sometimes is this the case even in Biblical stories).  Then there are theists who might attribute God's direct involvement and will to literally every event, no matter how small or large it is, and some or all of these people might be confusing a deity that knowingly allows something to happen in that it does not actively control the event with a deity that causes life circumstances to go in a certain direction.

In contrast, there could be deists or atheists who pretend to know that there is no divine will behind any event at all, something that, even if it was true, would be completely unknowable and thus idiotic for someone to actually believe.  Now, the logical necessity of an uncaused cause that created the cosmos, and it is far more difficult than most people want to accept, makes the belief of the latter of these two persons false by default, though deism could turn out to be true; it is just that there is evidence strongly suggesting that Christian theism is true.  However, even in Biblical accounts, Yahweh is not constantly intervening in everyone's lives.  There would be plenty of people alive even in the time of ancient Israel or the period when Jesus lived who never necessarily experienced the more overtly divine intervention mentioned in some stories, and there is no Biblical or extra-Biblical evidence, much less logical proof, for God being behind all fortunes and misfortunes except in the sense of simply being an omniscient observer.

This is an aspect of reality that, like so many other things, the only provable position is one of skepticism with regard to a handful of fixed logical possibilities.  The only rational stance to hold is that a being with my limitations could not possibly know if God's will has guided a specific events in my life one way or another but that it is entirely logically possible that such a thing is or is not happening, though there is an uncaused cause either way, and this is a logically verifiable fact about reality.  Even if the uncaused cause is ultimately apathetic towards or distant from human affairs, it is logically possible for that deity to have been concerned with human lives to the point of directly intervening whether or not people could see that there was something unusual about a given event, but there is no way to know that God is directly behind the particular evens of our lives just because the events happen.
