“This is what the LORD says—
your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself..."
{Isaiah 44:24} (NIV 1984)
We call gravity a law of nature. We observe how our bodies operate within this world that we exist in and we call these observations laws. We cannot escape these laws; they hold us captive, and they protect us and keep us alive, but we make a big mistake when we start to think that God must operate under those laws. It is true that He does His work on earth through people who are subject to these laws. But it is a greater truth that He operates in this world outside of those laws.
The Bible is full of what we call miracles, which are simply instances when the LORD operates outside of the laws of nature. Every time that I see a newborn, I think, 'what a miracle!' The LORD reminds us in this verse and in this chapter that He alone makes each person in the womb, and that He alone made all of creation. He alone is God and there is no other beside Him, and that He alone bought us at a price.
What does this truth mean to you this morning friend? Is there anything that you are asking of God that He can’t do? Not a chance! Our God is able and our God loves us so much that He paid a price for us. May we draw near to Him this day.
