I4114

I love God's comparisons. He nonchalantly calls out people quite a bit,it's true,but kinda funny how He does it.

Isaiah 41:14-15 says,"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.“See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains and crush them,and reduce the hills to chaff."

He tells Jacob that he's a worm. Whens the last time that word ever struck fear in your heart? In the verses to follow it starts to get scary. He tell Jacob that he can go from a work,so something that could chew through iron. That's a huge difference. I see this comparison as someone who has God,and someone who doesn't.We are told that "we can do all things through Christ,who strengthens us",well He has the ability to take us from a lowly worm,to a mighty sledge.

God is always available to us.He's always with us. He's always allowing everything to work together for good in your life.The more you read in these verses,the more you see how God has so much favor in His people. Saying that we can throw our enemies in the air and watch them become dust and the wind carry them away...can you picture that? It's awesome.

Today and until we see Him,don't fear anything. Don't be worried about your enemies,don't be worried about the weather,don't be worried about your bills. It's the times when you worry,that you give your enemy a chance to take hold of you. God wants to uphold us with His victorious right hand...so why not let Him?
