Don't Boss the Boss: Surrendering Our Demand for Divine Obedience

"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?" Isaiah 45:9 (KJV)

There's a dangerous reversal happening in many hearts today. We approach God not as humble servants seeking His will, but as demanding customers expecting divine customer service. When circumstances don't align with our plans, when prayers seem unanswered, when God's timing doesn't match our urgency, we find ourselves angry, not with our situation, but with God Himself.

The Problem: Playing God to God

When we demand that God conform to our understanding, we're essentially saying, "I know better than You do." We're telling the One who spoke galaxies into existence that our finite perspective trumps His infinite wisdom. We're informing the God who sees the end from the beginning that He's gotten our story wrong.

This reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of who God is and who we are. As the clay, we have no right to question the Potter's methods. As children, we have no authority to command our heavenly Father.

The Spiritual Solution: Returning to Our Rightful Position

The remedy begins with repentance, not God repenting to us, but us repenting to God. We must acknowledge that our frustration with His apparent "disobedience" to our will is actually rebellion against His rightful lordship.

First, humble ourselves before His sovereignty: "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble" (James 4:6, KJV).

Second, trust His perfect love and wisdom: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28, KJV).

Third, surrender our timeline to His: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (Ecclesiastes 3:1, KJV).

Finally, pray with Christ's heart: "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done" (Luke 22:42, KJV).

The peace we seek won't come from getting God to obey us, but from learning to trust and obey Him. When we stop trying to be the father and return to our place as beloved children, we'll discover that His will is not a burden to bear but a gift to receive.
