Isa 45:7
I form the
light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all
these things.
The
Lord is speaking to His people through the prophet Isaiah. He is reminding them of who He is that they
might take His commands and boundaries a bit more seriously. We do not have the option to ignore God’s Words
and expect to experience life in the manner in which He designed it. The Lord formed light. The Lord creates darkness. The Lord makes peace. The Lord creates situations that we don’t
like. The Lord does these things. He is Lord.
He is Creator. He is wisdom. He is judge.
He is Savior. He is the One we
answer to. In a day and age where
personal opinion is touted as the ultimate guide to our lives, we had best take
note of who our God is and the position He deserves as final authority in all
matters. Who is like our God? He deserves our appropriate submission, honor
and respect. Perhaps it would do us well
to sit in His presence for a few minutes and take in what He is saying
here. Perhaps if we started our day with
a bit more awe, we might choose our paths more carefully.
