I believe god is very powerful, but not as powerful as most people think, and as described in the bible.
I don't believe god can control everything. As we know, tiny dust can cause many problems, even big ones. Can god control every dust so that it won't hurt the creatures he created and love ? ( I don't think god gave dust free will too. )
If god cannot control everything and stop something from creating trouble, how does he manage the universe (our world, all his creatures....) so well.
I think god has his own philosophy to do it. And I think, If one day we understand that, we would know what our purpose of life is.
What do you think?

I'm impressed with the question you asked. I truly am. I see that everyone has made god out to be some untouchable creature that has the whole world in his palms and then those who experience tragedy end up losing faith. but yes, i agree with you and i think it is almost impossible to tell and it would probably only be with the entire world thinking on that question at the same time that you would come up with an answer. I think it has a lot to do with thinking deeper and looking at the errors that we have created in our lives and think of how that could have been prevented.

What makes you think that God would want to control dust or anything else for that matter?
God would need to be judging to see the dust as being a danger. I seriously doubt if God is the least bit concerned with anything that happens in the illusory physical reality. God is spirit and undoubtedly recognizes that spirit is the true nature or primary reality of each and every one of us. Spirit is not vulnerable to the dangers that are a threat to these body's we inhabit while we are incarnate, so the effects of these thing that you are talking about on these body's would not be seen as relevant at all.
Our purpose here is to learn that love is the only rational, or logical response to any situation.
Love and blessings

Mostly, God doesn't deal with or manage his creatures and universe, per se. He lets man do most of the day-to-day operation.
Those who seek Him do get to understand what He wants.

"God's Philosophy" is oxymoronic.
Philosophy is a man-made concept. The pursuit of wisdom is not something God would do. One does not pursue the things one already has. Trying to understand the wisdom of a supernatural entity is not going to lead to wisdom just philosophical tail-chasing.
And reality? It is highly over-rated.

An very interesting thought, it makes me what to debate/discuss with you in person.
In your opinion :
Who controls the element that god can not control ?
Does God create everything even the elements he can not control ?

I think you're probably more right than you have a right to be.
