In Isaiah 45, Isaiah speaks of Cyrus, whom God used to release Judah and Israel from captivity in Babylon, enabling them to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. Cyrus financed this great endeavor, and Isaiah mentions that God used him for a purpose though he was not of Israel. Remember, God created everything, and we are merely dust and clay and shouldn’t challenge Him. God reminds us that He also created evil for His use.
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45:7
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? Isaiah 45:9
It is also important that we realize the evil beings are not a challenge for God. They may hold certain power here on earth, but those of us who reject evil and trust in God can and will overcome them. Before you go to anyone else when life becomes demanding, go to God; He is your creator and the only one able to see the future and know the directions you should go. He is the one who guides others and places the pieces where He wants them to give His children the advantage. Remember that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
