Maker

"Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making?' or shall your handiwork say, 'He has no hands'?”
Isaiah 45:9*

Absurd and ridiculous; something out of a cartoon - That's the image of a lump of clay arguing with its potter and giving instructions on how it wants to be made. Yet, that is a frequent occurrence between human beings and their Maker. If the truth were known, there's a greater disparity between the most intelligent man and his Creator, than a genius and a glob of dirt.

This verse pronounces a curse to those who would dare to criticize God for making them the way they are. However, in this "enlightened age" society sees nothing wrong with that. People undergo hormone treatment, operations, and cross dressing in order to change their gender, still the DNA of every cell in their body would argue otherwise. The Bible proves itself true by saying, "There is no fear of God before their eyes." (Romans 3:18).

Faith is the process of agreeing with God. A believer agrees with what God is, says, and has done. To argue with any of it is to not believe.

The Lord Jesus Christ made the world and everything in the heavens (Hebrews 1:2 and 10). In fact, there is nothing made that He didn't make (John 1:3). As Maker of the human race, the Savior customized every individual that ever lived. All were made for a purpose and on purpose, so it dishonors the Creator to envy others for their strengths, intelligence, or appearance.

Life has been given to each one as a joy and privilege, so each man and woman should come to their Maker with thanksgiving for the gifts He has given.

*Isaiah 17:7, 22:11, 54:11
