 "'so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the Lord , and there is no other. I create the light and make the darkness. I send good times and bad times. I, the Lord , am the one who does these things." Isaiah 45:6‭-‬7 NLT

   God is both creator and judge , he judges our choices . He gave us the right to chose as an act of love. The first couple :Adam and Eve where given the right to make choices between Good and Evil that was the essence of the Tree of Good and Evil . A test of their fidelity. The life we live and our environment is a function of the choices that we make : this is what gives meaning to life's circumstances . When God created the world it was in perfect harmony with Heaven , the Bible says in Genesis 1:1" created the heavens and the Earth " the word 'and' is a conjunction, meaning the Earth was in perfect harmony with God until man made a choice to live independent of God , this was the Genesis of the instabilities of life on earth . Every manufacturer attaches a product manual to his product before selling to customers: when God created the Earth he gave Adam the manual for operating the Earth. Adam disregarded the manual and what we see as evil today is the consequences of rejecting the manufacturer's manual.. the Earth was created with its standard scientific operating system ( e.g temperature , Atmospheric pressures, Humidity etc ) the cataclysmic activities across the world are consequent on the violation of environmental laws . For instance deadly earth tremors have been experienced in places with excessive mining activities thousands of feet beneath the ground . Also global warming results in destructive floods worldwide. To every action there is a reaction. The reactions or events we experience are God's response to our action through the elements of the universe. God's essence permeates throughout the fabric of the material universe . He is everywhere and in all things . the book of Job says " Do you know the laws of the universe? Can you use them to regulate the earth? Job 38:33 NLT    

     The universe was created by a living God and has intelligence and response to us in accordance to the actions we take in support or against the elements of the universe. Adam's choice of independence from God's wisdom , meant the only means of effective communication was through an adversity -and- reward system "For the godless are full of resentment. Even when he punishes them, they refuse to cry out to him for help. But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer. For he gets their attention through adversity. Job 36:13‭, ‬15 NLT Bible .    Adversity is a necessary means of effective communication due to the hardness of the human heart. If we see God in our adversity we would be better off at the end “God is leading you away from danger, ...to a place free from distress. He is setting your table with the best food. Job 36:16 NLT Bible
