I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and - TopicsExpress



          

I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things. -Isaiah 45:7 God is sovereign in all things. God does not react to evil. He is in the middle of that evil, to use it for His good purposes. He makes hearts brand new, and He hardens the hearts of others. We dont like to think about this truth for a number of reasons. We are afraid that His sovereignty will somehow question His character. We want God to be fair. Sometimes, we even believe that because God creates disasters in our lives, then that makes Him evil. Far from it. The potter has rights to the clay. The potter molds the clay. The shepherd has rights to the sheep. The shepherd tends to the flock. God has rights to man. He is God and we are not. Serve the Lord, and it will be well with you, whether in hardship or in joy. blueletterbible.org/bible.cfm?b=Isa&c=45&t=ESV
