There is something comforting about remembering who God is. We live in a world that often feels uncertain and out of control. Circumstances change, people change, and plans can suddenly be interrupted. Yet Jeremiah reminds us that the God we serve is the God who made it all.

“He hath made the earth by his power.” Creation itself is a testimony to the greatness of God. The mountains, oceans, stars, and everything around us exist because He spoke them into existence. If God possesses the power to create the world, He certainly possesses the power to sustain us through whatever we face.

Jeremiah also says that God “hath established the world by his wisdom.” God does not simply have power—He has perfect wisdom. There are times when we may not understand what God is doing, but we can trust that His wisdom is greater than our understanding. What looks confusing to us is never confusing to Him.

Finally, we are reminded that God stretched out the heavens by His discretion. Nothing about God is careless or accidental. His creation demonstrates His order, purpose, and wisdom. The same God who carefully established the heavens is able to carefully lead your life.

Today, you may be facing something you cannot control or understand. Remember that your circumstances are never greater than your Creator. The God who made the heavens and earth is still on the throne. Trust His power, rest in His wisdom, and follow His leading.
