From a feeble 'worm' to matter of strength


A few more words of encouragement for those praying through your adversity.  Upon reading the bible this morning, I came across a passage that hit me hard across the head.  Isaiah 41:14-15 "Fear not, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel! I will help you", says the Lord and your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel.  "Behold, I will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and make the hills like chaff."

So many of us are experiencing many life challenges as we endure our valley.  I join with you in this plight, our adversities, challenges and growth in our journey with Our Lord Jesus Christ.  

First, did you notice...the people were called a worm?  A worm is soft, delicate and easily bruised.

On the other hand, a 'threshing tool' is strong, can cut through rock, not be broken and will leave its mark on the rock.  "Chaff" - meaning worthless.  Leaving the rock and mountain worthless.

Only our Almighty God can convert one to the other.

And that is exactly what God did for his people the Israelite s.  Made them strong from being feeble, weak body of people.  Nations no longer will trample them.

A worm can and should take heart, knowing that the Almighty God can MAKE us stronger than our circumstances and can turn each situation to our good.

God can take a life crushed by pain, sorrow, hardships, depression, uncertainty, etc...and make it a harp, whose music will be total praise.  He can lift earth's saddest failure up to Heaven's Glory.

Find heart and encouragement...Our God is in control...and can MAKE our circumstances, mind set, finances, etc...from weak to strong.

Lets begin praising now...for our Victory to come.

Many blessings to you.
