"This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5
"I am the LORD, and there is no other, the One forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these." Isaiah 45:6b,7
God is eternal. He existed before light and darkness existed. He created light and darkness. In Him there is no sin, whatsoever. He tells us through Isaiah that He causes well-being and creates calamity. He creates events that bring terrible loss, lasting distress, and severe affliction. He is not doing anything wrong, bad, or evil in creating these events. In the well-being God causes, His purposes are good - in the calamity God creates, His purposes are good, because
in Him there is no darkness at all. By faith, we believe these truths, by faith we rest in these truths.
