16 You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, “He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”? ~ Isaiah 29:16
When you put it that way, it is ludicrous. The Clay could never say to the Potter, “You did not make me.” The Clay would sound like a real simpleton because everybody would see the stupidity in it, and the Clay would be the laughing stock. But it is you, oh man, whom the LORD has thus addressed. It is today’s society that claims there is no God and has raised a rebellion against their Creator. It is today’s people that claim that they were not created, but evolved.
The truth is God did create us, and we are the work of His hands. He has created us to be who we are and has a plan for us. Our job, therefore, is to find out what that plan is and to follow that plan as best we can, for the LORD is our Helper and our source of strength. Apart from Him, we can do nothing; even our breath is borrowed from Him. So, why would we rage against Him? Why would we say He never formed me? Or the LORD God never created us. I assure you, God takes care of that which belongs to Him. He will keep in perfect peace, which He has formed. If you want to be taken care of, or if you want to have perfect peace, submit to God; no one can pluck you out of His hand, and nothing can steal your peace.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are God and that You have created me. For if You have created me, You will take care of me. I accept Your care right now, in the name of Jesus, amen.
