Who gives you the right to quarrel with God?

Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker,
Those who are nothing but potsherds
Among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,
“What are you making?” Does your work say,
“The potter has no hands?” Isaiah 45:9

You start off in life as a piece of broken clay just like all of humanity. The transition into a beautiful work of art is accomplished by the hand of God in His perfect timing.

This truth in Isaiah is a warning from God to cease from questioning His work in your life. You have no right to complain or try to instruct God about His workmanship. His ways are prefect!

Do you really believe God lacks the ability to refine you into His nature? What gives you the right to confront God who forms the light and creates darkness or brings prosperity or disaster. God does all these things. He is the first and the last God. There is no other God.

You may not acknowledge God but He knows you by name and is at work in your life. And, He desires to give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that He is the Lord.

How do you and I deal with a God who knows us better than we know ourselves and desires to mold the broken piece of clay into a beautiful work of creation.

You have to accept you are a broken piece of clay and that God is the only source who can transform you into a new creature in Christ Jesus filled with His virtue.

You also have to accept that God’s ways are not your ways and give Him respect and praise for His handiwork even though it is not visible to you.

This is not easy but the heart attitude in a believer should be “Here I am Lord. Take me and do as you please.”

God is perfect and cannot be moved. You have to accept the integrity of God and come before Him with humility as a broken piece of pottery!
