Isaiah 41: we are Small but God loves us

Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob,
little Israel, do not fear,
for I myself will help you," declares the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 41:14 NIV)

This verse reminds me of my smallness and Gods bigness. I am but a fleeting mist in the grandeur and eternity of God. For all of Israel is little in Gods scale. I get so self centered and selfish. I see the world through my eyes and my perspective. But truly my life is short and my significance very minimal.

But what is more important is that despite my smallness God the mighty creator and king knows me and will help me and you! For that is the character of God: redeemer and a god of humility evidenced in Jesus humility to life and death taking on our form and our sin.

Thank you Lord, I want to rejoice and glorify you!
I am but a small worm and my life is short.
But God you are king
You Lord care for us
You God humble yourself to help us yourself.
Thank you lord
Amen
