An Argument We Cannot Win

Woe to him who strives with His maker.” Isaiah 45:9
I was teaching middle school and there was a football game for the 7th graders that afternoon. The boys in my class were exceedingly discouraged and didn’t even want to turn up for the game. The other school had a 16 year old boy who was still in 7th grade. He was six feet tall and weighed over 200 pounds. The boys knew from their previous game that it was an unwinnable situation. Many people should take a lesson from those boys. There is a t time when the biggest guy is going to win.
God reminds us of that in today’s passage. God is bigger and stronger than all of mankind put together. No one can win against Him. We shouldn’t bother arguing with God because we are going to lose. He is wiser than us, has better foresight than us, more ability to do things than us. He is going to win. Our only real hope is to accept the grace He offers through Christ or we will face the woe that God has promised.

Dear Father, Help us not to be arrogant towards You. Amen.
