What Does "Things Happen for a Reason" Mean -

I hear people say this all the time. I'm disappointed, however, when I hear people not a part of Landover Baptist Church give an explanation. They are always wrong.
Those who are wrong have never heard Pastor Zeke bellow this out from the pulpit, "Proverbs 16:4, The Lord has made everything for its purpose..."
Actually, I think Pastor Zeke enjoys what follows. He reviews the disasters of the past week like the condos in Homer-Town Florida falling over and other events clearly caused by God's wrath against sin.
When I hear people say, "Everything happens for a reason" I quickly jump in as say, "God decides what happens. God is the reason things happen." The conversation always moves on at that point because everyone within earshot has to agree it is correct.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.
