In the book today we were asked 3 questions about these verses
1) What names does God call Himself in these passages
a) The Lord
b) The Holy One
c) The Maker.
2) Have you ever said to God "what are you doing , You have no Hands?"
UMMMM No, Never the hands part :-)
Sure I think everyone at one point or another wanted to know the what are you doing thing.
But since learning and excepting He Knows what He is doing and will do it better then I ever could that question doesn't pop into my head hardly at all. It has been replaces with the thought of "Here it is Lord do your will. I look forward to seeing what wonderful things you will do.
3) What should clay be like?
Clay should be workable able to bend and shape into whatever the maker wishes.
While answering these this song kept running though my head
Have thine own way Lord
Have thine own way
You are the Potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
After they will
While I am waiting
Yielded and still.

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!!!
