Key Bible Verses: "Woe to him who quarrels with his maker.
Does the clay say.
'What are you making?'" (Isaiah 45:9).
Bonus Reading: Isaiah 45:9-25
Mr. Holiday treated me like a son, taking a personal interest in me and my development. He called me into his office to tell me how much he appreciated my work. Often he came into the station at night to just sit and talk.
But he was one of the most critical and demanding men I've ever known. No one else has ever "chewed me out" the way he did. I'd be doing what I considered a reasonably good job on the air, and he'd come into the control room and tell me my performance was that of a child. He criticized my writing, my voice, my delivery. I'd be working the midnight shift and he'd call to comment on something I'd said on the air.
I came to believe that Jon Holiday never slept!
But I took everything he dished out and liked it, because I knew that Jon Holiday was for me. Jon Holiday made me one of the best broadcasters in the market.
My relationship with the God of the universe is similar. Because I know He is for me, because I know He cares, because I know He loves me, I can deal with almost anything. If God is in charge, it helps a whole lot to know He is for us.

In spite of difficult experiences, I know God is on my side because .
Thought to Apply:
A little further down the highway / They're studyin' the Word / "If you ain't heard our version, brother / You ain't really heard."
