OUR FATHER WHO CREATED THE EARTH AND EVERYTHING IN IT

Isaiah chapter 45 verse 9 says this;

“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’?

This verse pinpoints a particular kind of people who presume to question the creator in His creative studio about what He has made. 

To illustrate the absurdity of the scenario, the Lord uses a metaphor of a potter in his potter's studio having to listen to broken pieces of pottery that litter the studio floor yelling up to him to second-guess his endeavors and to accuse the potter of having no hands.

Whereas potters never have to endure criticism from broken pieces of their own work, the Lord God, who made all things that are, has people  whom He has made, quarrelling with Him, and voicing their disrespect for Him and even doubting His role in their existences.

To those, the Lord, in Isaiah chapter 45 verse 12, declares His Bona Fides.

It is I who made the earth and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens;  I marshaled their starry hosts.

The vastness of space and the intricacy of the earth and all its inhabitants are His work. The workmanship involved is beyond any human being's comprehension or even conception and certainly beyond any human being's stature to critique.

Amen.
