Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 45:11-12

"Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and all their host have I commanded." — Isaiah 45:11-12 (ASV)

Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

When we think of this, we ought to worship God alone, and trust him alone, and pay all loyal homage to him. What can there be that is comparable to the Creator of all things? There is not so much as a grain of dust, nor a single fly, that is self-created, or man-made; but everything has come from God and exists because he wills it.

Therefore, give to the Lord the glory that is due to his name, and rest in his power, and trust in his might.
