"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker - an earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?' Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands' ?" -Isaiah 45:9 (NASB)
In class, I give my students directions. Sometimes my students don't understand the reasons I am asking them to do something. In those times when they have questions, my students may want to argue their point or their way of doing something. There are times when I can take the time to explain the reasons and there are other times when I simply expect my students to follow directions. Like my students, when God asks us to do something, we may ask "Why?" or argue about how we want to it.
God is loving and He allows us to question Him, but we often do ourselves a disservice when we argue with God instead of trusting and accepting His direction for our lives. We can try to run from God or His plan for our lives, but we cannot escape God's presence or our need for God to be active in our lives. Instead of being the clay trying to argue with the potter, we should allow God to form and mold us for His purpose. When we accept God's will in our lives, He will allow us to grow closer to Him and in the process we will prosper!
Instead of arguing with God, accept His will and prosper in His love and support!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for wanting to form me into something great. Help me to accept Your will without argument so that I can prosper and bring others to You. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
