Why would a loving God “create darkness" and “disaster”? (Isaiah 45:7)

7 I form the light and create darkness,
    I bring prosperity and create disaster;
    I, the Lord, do all these things. (NIV)

Isaiah 45:7

ESV - ⁷ I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things.
