If he is present in our actions and thoughts and he has power over everything then two plus two equals four and his power is being expressed in our actions.Disagree, God is not present within everything and there is no where in scripture that says He is. God is omnipresent by knowing what's going on everywhere at all times. Meaning nothing escapes His knowing and knowing in no way means complete control nor predestination.
