The Small Task of God

It is a small thing for God to help us in our big things! Wow. Interesting. Have we ever thought of such a thing. I often have thought of God helping me as something where I must plead with Him for a nugget or crumb, hoping that in His infinite grace and power He might bestow a blessed help on me. I have never really thought that perhaps that is the smallest thing He does. Oswald Chambers says as the person of God that, “thou art nothing but a tiny insect at the door of my all-sufficiency. ‘I will help thee.’” Now, while I don’t really like thinking of myself as just an ant in the door of God, I do believe that is true. In comparison to God’s great presence, power and perfection I am just the smallest of insects who slink across the ground. But what makes God amazing is that while we step on ants and shew them away (or burn them with a magnifying glass), God comes way down to our level and helps us, and loves us, and spends time with us. Truly we serve a mysterious God. I often think, why oh why, would God spend any time on me; a dirty, messed up, spec. The answer? You decide.
