I've finally Started Watching Alias

I know I'm a little behind the curve here, but I've become a pretty big fan J.J. Abrams over the past few years.

There's something that was cool about the early seasons of Alias that Lost misses. Suspense and questions are great, but there has to some point of emotional release... aka we find out the answers and in a timely fashion. We've started to learn some things in lost, but it's too little too late.

It's like smacking me around and apologizing a month later. You had two weeks at the most... not 3 years.

Quarreling with the Maker

I've been struggling staying in the word lately. And by struggling I mean I haven't picked it up for the purpose of getting my heart changed for a while now. But every time I even crack it open it seems like God has just been shouting at me!

Get these couple of verses out of Isaiah they I got in the first opening.

Isaiah 45 v 5
I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you you, though you have not acknowledged me.

v 11
Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?

v12
It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.

I guess these verses hit me on a lot of levels that we would take pages if not entire volumes to express, but man when start unpacking even that last phrase "my own hands...."
Why does God talk about His hands so often?
Why does He bother with me?
I've got nothing to offer to Him, but He still strengthens me even when I don't acknowledge me.

Lately, I've been feeling like God is invited into my building, but not the room I'm spending my time in. I guess this passage is like God banging on wall with a broom handle telling me to let Him in.

God's economy of love and grace still confound me to the point of silence.
Thank you for loving me God.
I'm not worth it, but you are beautiful.

v 8
You heaves about, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness grow with it...
