The Lord God is in Control and Nothing is Done without His Sovereign Will

When Moses led to Israelites out of Egypt (After the plagues) they asked the Egyptians for some of their wealth. And they got it.
EXODUS 12:35-36
“Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing. And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.”
That doesn’t make sense. Imagine that in the “natural” The God of Israel just wiped out all of the 1st born of the Egyptians and as they leave that ask for gold, silver and clothing, and they get it. It could only happen thru God because it doesn’t make natural sense. It was His Sovereign will and Judgement.
Now we see ridiculous (natural sense) happening all around us. The Muslim takeover in Europe and now here. Sex changes and human sacrifices. People’s love for evil. People asking for no law and order only to be preyed upon by those things they ask for. It doesn’t make sense.
But God. Jesus is going to return again. It could be today, tomorrow or a thousand years from now. But, we are closer to the end today than yesterday. Matt 10:28-31… Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Men don't vote. Maybe spend less time praying and more time DOING.
Men are not voting. They refuse to participate and they wont be spared.

Free Will rules in the linear Universe wherein we now exist. Of course “every knee will bow in the ultimate outcome, but for now we own the consequences of our actions. Good or bad. That don’t mean that Jesus can’t step in for those who subordinate their Free Will and ask for mercy. Jesus knows the future and will act accordingly in regard to nullification of Nature Random actions and reactions. That would be a ‘miracle’ of the which you speak of. The Founders ders believed in Divine Providence.

In response to the OP, your doctrine needs subtlety.
God is sovereign in the macro sense, ie, He has declared the end from the beginning. Much, if not most, of what happens between the beginning and the end is manifestly not God's will and the Bible affirms this. There is a great battle raging between good and evil in spiritual realm and upon earth.
Those who love and fear the Lord must be engaged in this battle.

Heidelberg Catechism:
Q. 27. What do you understand by the providence of God?
A. The almighty and ever-present power of God whereby he still upholds, as it were by his own hand, heaven and earth together with all creatures, and rules in such a way that leaves and grass, rain and drought, fruitful and unfruitful years, food and drink, health and sickness, riches and poverty, and everything else, come to us not by chance but by his fatherly hand.
Q. 28. What advantage comes from acknowledging God's creation and providence?
A. We learn that we are to be patient in adversity, grateful in the midst of blessing, and to trust our faithful God and Father for the future, assured that no creature shall separate us from his love, since all creatures are so completely in his hand that without his will they cannot even move.

God is a Democrat? Who knew?

Hint: a catechism is not the same as the Bible. Nor does it completely agree with the scriptures
