Unworthy but Hopeful

Psa 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.


Job 36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.


Pro 22:2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.


Isa 17:7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.


Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?


Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it... what makest thou?


I love that example of maker and made. We tend to forget we are made that we have a maker. We don't forget we have parents as a rule and most people respect their parents and most parents are worthy of respect. God is forever worthy of our respect, God is our maker over and above our parents.


Psa 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.


God truly knows us as no other can know us.


May God bless us and in knowing us, know that we know how truely wicked we are and how undeserving of His love and mercy we are. We are creatures that have rebelled on our Creator, we are creatures that need to realize our creature status. Our only hope is to throw ourselves at our Father's feet and beg forgiveness having faith in the love of our Father to forgive us through the sacrifice of His all loving Son. Unworthy but hopeful in Christ. The righteousness is in my Maker. No matter who we are the Lord is the maker of all of us.


Amen
