Significant Insignificance

That’s what we are, right? Significantly insignificant! At least that’s how it feels sometimes.

I read in Psalms where David writes in 1 Samuel; “God who am I that you would bring me and my household this far”, and I am mindful of a line in a popular song today that says; “Who am I that you are mindful of me?” There are many times when I sit out on my front step late at night staring at the stars, contemplating the sheer size of the universe and thinking similar thoughts.

In the context of the universe, we are just one of a billion microbes, living on an insignificant grain of sand on a vast beach, with countless of other billions of grains of sand. How is it that the God of all that is, can even find me in the midst of all the microbes scattered among all the other grains of sand, let alone know me by name and love and care for me! But He says He does! Not only does He know my name, but he knows me so intimately that He has numbered the very hairs on my head…

Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

So even though at times I feel significantly insignificant, God tells me that I am significant to Him. He says that He loves me, and to prove it He laid down His life for me. And, even if I was the only microbe living in the midst of billions of grains of sand… He would still search me out and lay His life down for me, so that we could be together for eternity. And not just for me... it is an open invitation for any one wants to be exclusivly His!

Like the rest of the song says; “I AM A FRIEND OF GODS”, and you can be too!

Do we serve an awesome God or What?
