—Isaiah 45:5-13
by: Gabrielle Osborn.
God created everything. Not most things, not some things, everything. If He wants something to happen, it will be done. Yet sometimes we fight with God. We think, “I know best,” or, “Why is this happening?” or, “Why can’t God just do it my way?” In this passage, God said, “Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker” (v.9, NIV1984). We should not fight with God. He is the Creator of all things and is far superior to you and me. Even though it may not seem like it at the time, He knows what He is doing. He looks to see what will benefit us forever, not just in the moment. So the next time you start to find yourself thinking that something should be done one way, remember, God is control and He wants the best for us.
