When we can't trace His hand, we must trust His heart. Isaiah chapter 45 verse 7 declares, I form the light and create darkness. I bring prosperity and create disaster. I, the Lord, do all these things.

As we read these words, we are reminded that God is the one who is ultimately in control. He is the one who forms the light and creates the darkness, bringing prosperity and creating disaster. This means that no matter what we are going through, whether it's a season of abundance or a season of struggle, God is the one who is guiding and directing every event, every circumstance, and every outcome.

The Lord God Almighty reigns supreme over all of creation, exercising complete sovereignty and providential control over every aspect of His universe. Nothing happens by chance or accident or fate or outside of His divine plan. He is the creator and sustainer of all things and everything. Both the pleasant and the painful falls under His sovereign will.

The same God who blesses His people with prosperity and abundance is the same God who, for His own wise purposes, may also bring disaster, suffering, and difficult circumstances into our lives. We must recognize that God's sovereignty is not limited to just individual lives. God is sovereign over all of His creation, over all of history, and over all of His world. It means that God is the one who is guiding the course of human events and that he is the one who is ultimately in control of the destiny of every nation and every government.

What does this mean for us as believers? It means that we must trust in God's sovereignty even when things don't make sense. It means that we must trust that God is working everything out for our good and His glory even when we can't see how. As we encounter the vicissitudes of life, we must surrender our own desires and plans to God and trust that He will guide us along His all-wise and gracious path.

No matter what we face in this life, we can take comfort in knowing that our lives are firmly held in the mighty loving hands of our Savior God, who loves His chosen and redeemed people with an everlasting love.

It has been wisely said, when we can't trace His hand, we must trust His heart.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight. Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5 and 6

You keep Him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because He trusts in you. Isaiah chapter 26 verse 3
