God’s omniscient sovereignty is clearly on display in Isaiah 45 and 46. These chapters are mainly addressed to King Cyrus, whom God named and destined to free His people hundreds of years before his birth.
Our God is sovereign. He knows the past, the present, and the future through and through, and He doesn’t just know them–He is in perfect control! Nothing in heaven or on earth can thwart His will or intercept His plans. This should be greatly encouraging to us as we face great uncertainty all over the world.
Isaiah 45 reads, “I form the Light and create darkness; I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.” God is sovereign, not only over light and peace, but also over darkness and calamity. His ways are higher than ours, and His perfect plan rules behind every step of our journeys.
Isaiah 46:11 says, “…Indeed, I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it.” This is one of the clearest verses in Scripture about God’s sovereignty. It teaches us that God is God, that He does as He pleases, and that He keeps His promises.
When we face fear and uncertainty, we can be assured that God is still on His throne, and He is sovereign!!
