Isaiah's Prophecies about Restoration and the Messiah (Continued) - Isaiah 43:8-28, 44:1-28, 45:1-13

Ahhh, the proud and bold potsherd

"Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker,
     to him who is bout a potsherd among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter, 
     'What are you making?'
     Does your work say,
      'He has no hands'?

There's bits of wry humor tucked throughout scripture and it's always fun and funny to see.  Imagine a pot [not even a whole pot but a piece of pottery, a potsherd] having the chutzpa to quiz the potter.  Now imagine our questioning God.  Imagine the pot saying, "Hey, the potter didn't really make me - He's got no hands!"  Just as humorous as someone thinking that God didn't create us and this wondrous world we have the privilege to live in.  I'm laughing...is God laughing?

Forgive me, Lord.  Forgive my questions and give me faith.
