Isaiah 41
14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
The Hebrews of Isaiah's time, and maybe Christians also, are worms, the lowest, and most disgusting of life forms. Profound Biblical truth here.
But God, and the saving grace of Jesus Christ, gives us redemption and the strength to carry on.
More From Isaiah 41
15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
I just love the expression "thou worm Jacob"....
