Psalm 90:2 (LSB) 2 Before the mountains were born Or You brought forth the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

God is exponentially bigger than we can understand or comprehend.

He is infinite and unfathomable.

His wisdom and knowledge are more than can be contained in the earth.

His mercy cannot be understood or rationalized.

His thoughts are higher than what man can contain or process in our minds or our intellect.

Think about it.

He spoke the worlds into existence.

He formed man from the dust and breathed life into his nostrils.

He commanded the waters to divide, and they became the seas and the clouds

He separated the day from the night.

He created fish and all other water-dwelling creatures.

He gave those aquatic creatures a special anatomy to be able to extract oxygen from water and breathe it in without having to come to the surface to get air.

He gave certain goats the ability to climb vertical surfaces that defies human understanding.

He created sunshine, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

He designed rivers and streams to flow into the oceans.

He created tides that come in and go out at specific intervals of time.

He designed the earth to revolve around the sun, giving us night and day.

Seasons come and go right on cue because He made it this way.

So, what does all this mean for us?

It means that we serve a God who is bigger than everything.

He holds the worlds in His hands.

He is trustworthy and faithful. His words are true.

He is eternal; from everlasting to everlasting!

When our trust is in Him, we have nothing to fear. We should not worry.

And though the things we see trouble our minds, we must remember that He has told us to trust Him even when we might not understand.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Isaiah 37:36 (NKJV) 36 Then the angel of the Lord went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses—all dead.

Just as God had promised through the prophet Isaiah, He delivered the people of Judah from the Assyrian army and king Sennacherib, as illustrated in the verse above.

Also, just as He had promised, king Sennacherib left, returning home the same way he came.

Isaiah 37:37 (NKJV) 37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went away, returned home, and remained at Nineveh.

Further, God ended king Sennacherib’s life at the hands of two of his own sons.

Isaiah 37:38 (NKJV) 38 Now it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Then Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.

With all that we have covered over the last few days, here is what we now know, based on the word of God.

In some situations, God will allow certain actions to be carried out by people who have given themselves over to evil.

God does not make them evil. They choose to do evil themselves. He does not condone evil. He hates it.

Due to their evil hearts and actions, God uses them to punish or chasten those who call themselves His children but repeatedly disobey Him and worship idols and false gods.

Make no mistake. Every evil act we see is not happening to punish someone. Most happen solely because the person carrying them out is darkened in their heart, following the influence of the evil one himself.

But no matter why these things are carried out, God will also hold those same evil people accountable for their actions when He sees fit to do so, in His timing.

They receive due punishment for their actions, either in the here and now or at their appointed time of judgment.

This is important for us to understand because we often question how or why evil people go unpunished.

What we fail to realize is that they ultimately do get punished  if they don’t repent. But it may not always be in the timing we think it should be in, or in the way we think is fitting.

That is where we need to trust God and His sovereignty.

It can be easy to see things happening and begin to question God’s ways. But that only leads us to getting into trouble.

He always knows what is best. His ways are higher than ours. He knows and understands the big picture.

We hope this has brought some understanding where you may have been struggling to find it.

These things are difficult to witness and to navigate with respect to our faith and our trust in God. And it is important that we do not get caught up in trying to figure it all out.

We must remember that we walk by faith, not by sight.
