Let us not dethrone and Un deify the great Maker and Sustainer, by substituting for His sovereign rule, what are commonly called the laws of nature. Winds, and earthquakes, and tempests are not the capricious outbreaks of unregulated mechanical force.
The world's vast machinery, with all its varied and intricate movements, is under God's supervision and control.
"He holds the winds in His fists."
"He gathers the waters in the hollow of His hand."
"He makes the clouds His chariot."
"He directs the snow to fall on the earth and tells the rain to pour down."
This offers a lesson of soothing consolation to many a stricken heart:
That lightning which struck down my child, was an arrow out of the quiver of God!
That wave which swept him from the vessel's side; or that hurricane which overthrew my dwelling and buried loved ones in the ruins had their pathway marked out by God!
He brings forth the lightning out of His treasuries!
He gives the sea its decree!
He walks on the wings of the wind!
All things are subservient to the controlling will and purposes of the Most-High God.
[John MacDuff]
Isaiah 45:6-7 ... That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
