God is the Lord and Ruler of everything. Psalm 90:2 tells us that God is God from everlasting to everlasting. Before Creation He was God, and when heaven and earth pass away, He will still be God. As the Creator of all things, He has infinite authority over what was made.

Isaiah 45:6-7 – That people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things.

The Bible is full of instances where God interacted with His Creation in a supernatural way so that His will was accomplished. From the Flood (Genesis 7), to the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14), to the Resurrection of Christ (Matthew 28) the Bible consistently demonstrates that God is omnipotent and in complete control of everything and everyone.

Romans 9:21 – Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?

This verse from Romans clearly references back to Isaiah 64:8. Here, mankind is likened to clay that was molded by potter. The clay has no influence over what the potter makes, but rather the clay conforms to the potter’s will. This verse also opens up discussions on Predestination and the Doctrine of Election (Ephesians 1:4). Proverbs 16:4 tells us, “The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.” It is clear from these verses that God has a plan for everything. Both the Righteous and the wicked abide by the will of God. The Lord did not simply create this existence and then turn His back. He is active in His Creation and uses each person to fulfill His sovereign plan; a plan that was established before the foundations of the earth was laid.

Psalm 8:1-4 – ¹O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.²Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. ³When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,⁴what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

When put into perspective, the fact that we exist at all seems pretty inconsequential in comparison with the rest of Creation. The Psalmist even asks why God cares for us given everything else that He made. Later in Psalm 113:6, it is described how God has to “stoop down” just to interact with us. We are created infinitely low compared to our infinitely supreme God. The mere idea that we somehow can mock His ways, deny His existence, and escape His Judgment is the pinnacle of human arrogance. “The Fool says in his heart that there is no God” – Psalm 14:1

God rules beyond contestation in His Creation. Everyone and everything is subject to His will. Colossians 1:15 describes Jesus as being the “firstborn of all creation”. This statement speaks of His singular authority over the Creation. Unbelievers may contend that “He is not my God”, but when the Day of Judgment comes, all of Creation will be held accountable to Jehovah God. There is no “opting out”. If you haven’t done so already, I encourage you to search the Scriptures so the truth of God will be revealed in your life. God Bless You!
