Isa 45:7 | MHM | STEP | v. 7–8 : God shows he is in control of everything. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil ( Isaiah 45:7 ). Here, "evil" means trouble or disaster, not moral evil. God is the source of all things—both blessings and hardships. Nothing happens without his will. He controls every event, whether joyful or difficult ( Genesis 1:3 ). God calls the earth to receive his blessings, just as rain brings life. His actions are always right, and everything he does is for a good purpose.
