Isaiah 45:9-11 - Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker

45:9,10

We then get God’s judgement on those who rebel against God, and see how accurate and relevant the condemnation is. “Those who quarrel with their maker”. Think of those who object to God, they are objecting to the one who created them, along with the whole universe. “Does the clay say to the potter?”  We have no right, moral nor logical, to argue with our creator. It makes no sense at all to do so.

45:11

Yet again God reminds Israel that He is the “Holy One of Israel” and is “its Maker”. When Israel forgot this she forgot her identity. The nation would not have come into existence without God’s direct action. Israel only finds her identity when she looks to the Lord and to His plans for her. So it is with all of us. And God decides how things are going to be done, how His plans are going to be fulfilled. Again, so it is with us. We need to look to the Lord.
