In the book of Isaiah, the prophet delivers a powerful message from the Lord, that speaks to His sovereignty and authority of God over all things in His creation!
In Isaiah 45:7, we read these profound words:
“I form the light and create darkness,
I make peace and create calamity;
I, the Lord, do all these things.”
This verse reminds us of the absolute supremacy of our Almighty God, who is in complete control of everything that transpires in His universe. He is the source of both light and darkness, of peace and calamity. Nothing escapes His divine oversight and purpose.
As believers, this truth should fill us with a profound sense of awe and reverence for the Creator and Governor of our world. It means that even in the midst of life’s most difficult trials and tribulations, we can find solace in knowing that our sovereign God is orchestrating all things according to His perfect will.
The light may give way to darkness, and peace may give way to calamity–but through it all, we can trust that the Lord is working out His eternal plan.
This verse calls us to humbly submit to God’s authority, and to find our refuge in Him alone; for He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End–the One who holds all things in the palm of His hand! As we cling to this truth, it will strengthen our faith, even in the darkest of circumstances.
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose!” Romans 8:28
