"Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?"
Isaiah 29:15-16
I like the analogy here of us criticizing our maker... it makes the idea seem ridiculous, which is what it truly is. We don't have the knowledge or the understanding to critique God's work... and the only way we can get that information is by working with God himself as our master teacher. It's crazy for us to think that we can give him advice about his creations when he can see so much more clearly than we can.
Today, let's remember that there are things about God and his work that are currently out of our reach... not because God doesn't want us to understand, but because we just aren't capable of it yet. We need to learn and grow and gain a wider perspective. Let's not try to fool God or hide things from him, and let's think hard about learning from God rather than uselessly fighting him.
