God Is Sovereign Over All Things Created
Over and over, throughout nearly every book of the bible, God’s word underscores that creation is His and He has the power and authority to do with it what he pleases. As we read the verses below, themes emerge. He wants us to know that what may seem ‘natural’ isn’t. Just because it’s always been there or we understand its workings more, does not change the fact that it’s SUPER-natural. Creation is doing exactly what He purposed it to do from the beginning of time. He can also ‘bend it’ from its typically charted purposes to accomplish His will and use it to bless, punish, provide, speak,, encourage, rescue and sometimes get our attention in an even humorous way. (I’m smiling as I think about Him speaking to Balaam from the mouth of a donkey and coins appearing in the mouth of a fish so the disciples could pay the temple tax!).
Let us not take one star, not one sparrow, not one hair for granted. It’s all his and he knows how he made it and he is aware, in His perfect omnipresent sovereignty, of its status this very moment as we are experiencing it.
The next time you are contemplating a bird, a tree, a snail, a flower, or even a rock consider this powerful fact, God knows.
He sees you.
He sees it all, and He is with you.
Talk with Him.
Thank Him, glorify Him and ask what aspect of His nature He may want to illuminate for you so that you can know Him more deeply than you ever have before.

So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul— then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil.

| Job 28:24-27 | for he views the ends of the earthand sees everything under the heavens.25 When he established the force of the windand measured out the waters,26 when he made a decree for the rainand a path for the thunderstorm,27 then he looked at wisdom and appraised it;he confirmed it and tested it. | https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job+28%3A24-27&version=NIV |
| Job 34:12 | It is unthinkable that God would do wrong,that the Almighty would pervert justice.13 Who appointed him over the earth?Who put him in charge of the whole world?14 If it were his intentionand he withdrew his spirit[a] and breath,15 all humanity would perish togetherand mankind would return to the dust. | |
| Job 34:18-20 | Is he not the One who says to kings, ‘You are worthless,’and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’19 who shows no partiality to princesand does not favor the rich over the poor,for they are all the work of his hands?20 They die in an instant, in the middle of the night;the people are shaken and they pass away;the mighty are removed without human hand. | |
| Job 35:10 | But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,who gives songs in the night,11 who teaches us more than he teaches[a] the beasts of the earthand makes us wiser than[b] the birds in the sky?’ | |
| Job 36:24-33 NIV | Remember to extol his work, which people have praised in song. All humanity has seen it; mortals gaze on it from afar. How great is God—beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out. “He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams ; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind. Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion? See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea. This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance. He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark. His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach. | |
| Job 37:2-23 NIV | Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth. He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth. After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back. God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work, he stops all people from their labor. The animals take cover; they remain in their dens. The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds. The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen. He loads the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through them. At his direction they swirl around over the face of the whole earth to do whatever he commands them. He brings the clouds to punish people, or to water his earth and show his love. “Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders. Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge? You who swelter in your clothes when the land lies hushed under the south wind, can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze? “Tell us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness. Should he be told that I want to speak? Would anyone ask to be swallowed up? Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the wind has swept them clean. Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty. The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress. | http://bible.com/111/job.37.2-23.NIV |
| Job 38:1-41 NIV | Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone— while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? “Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb, when I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness, when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place, when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt’? “Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place, that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment. The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken. “Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness? Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this. “What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside? Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings? Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years! “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle? What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth? Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, to water a land where no one lives, an uninhabited desert, to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass? Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew? From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens when the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen? “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt? Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God’s dominion over the earth? “Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water? Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’? Who gives the ibis wisdom or gives the rooster understanding? Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together? “Do you hunt the prey for the lioness and satisfy the hunger of the lions when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in a thicket? Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food? | http://bible.com/111/job.38.1-41.NIV |
| Job 39:1-30 | “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?2 Do you count the months till they bear?Do you know the time they give birth?3 They crouch down and bring forth their young;their labor pains are ended.4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;they leave and do not return. 5 “Who let the wild donkey go free?Who untied its ropes?6 I gave it the wasteland as its home,the salt flats as its habitat.7 It laughs at the commotion in the town;it does not hear a driver’s shout.8 It ranges the hills for its pastureand searches for any green thing. 9 “Will the wild ox consent to serve you?Will it stay by your manger at night?10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness?Will it till the valleys behind you?11 Will you rely on it for its great strength?Will you leave your heavy work to it?12 Can you trust it to haul in your grainand bring it to your threshing floor? 13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,though they cannot comparewith the wings and feathers of the stork.14 She lays her eggs on the groundand lets them warm in the sand,15 unmindful that a foot may crush them,that some wild animal may trample them.16 She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers;she cares not that her labor was in vain,17 for God did not endow her with wisdomor give her a share of good sense.18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run,she laughs at horse and rider. 19 “Do you give the horse its strengthor clothe its neck with a flowing mane?20 Do you make it leap like a locust,striking terror with its proud snorting?21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,and charges into the fray.22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing;it does not shy away from the sword.23 The quiver rattles against its side,along with the flashing spear and lance.24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’It catches the scent of battle from afar,the shout of commanders and the battle cry. 26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdomand spread its wings toward the south?27 Does the eagle soar at your commandand build its nest on high?28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;a rocky crag is its stronghold.29 From there it looks for food;its eyes detect it from afar.30 Its young ones feast on blood,and where the slain are, there it is.” | https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job+39%3A1-30&version=NIV |

You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it. He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet. He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind. He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky. Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them. The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, Lord , at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.” | http://bible.com/111/ezk.47.6-12.NIV |
