Do not challenge the one who has this kind of power

As Jeremiah revealed the judgment of God upon Babylon, the prophet suddenly reminded the reader of what this God can do, saying,

He has made the earth by His power;
He has established the world by His wisdom,
And stretched out the heaven by His understanding.
When He utters His voice—
There is a multitude of waters in the heavens:
He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
He makes lightnings for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His treasuries
(Jeremiah 51.15–16)

Do you think it is a good idea to challenge a God who has that kind of power? Yet, our fellow-Earth citizens do it all the time. May they repent before it is too late!
