Traditionally "omnipotent" means that God is all powerful, not that
everything is a result of His will specifically. Scripture explicitly
states that many things are not His will. Things contrary to His will
are things He had to allow for "free will" or "choice" to have any
real meaning. If people could only choose His will then what meaning
would "choice" have?

Let me get this straight, god decides certain things should
be totally random, and left to chance?

No, I don't think I said that. Nothing physical is random, it only
appears to be to us, being we are finite and unable to discern why
they happen. I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you saying that
choice introduces randomness to the universe?
