Isaiah 45:8-12(part 1)

Isaiah 45: 8-12
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

vs8 Is a prayer of a quicker deliverance
vs9&10 Is a check to the unbelieving Jews who fought with God about lengthening out of there captivity
vs11-15 Is encouragement to believing Jews who trusted God and continued in prayer assuring them that God would in due time accomplish this work.

My 1st thought when reading this was Don't question God, His timing or what He is doing. What I'm walking away with after reading this is don't rush God , Don't fight with Him to get your way or to give you answers. God will finish what He started, He will give you answers as He seems fit. IN HIS TIME!!!
