“Fear not, thou worm Jacob...I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains..” (Isa. 41:14-15). What a way with words the Word has! God takes a delicate worm and makes it into an instrument with teeth. This impotent worm becomes a terror to its terrorist enemies. It is now one that can break, but cannot be broken. Such is the contrast.
God can take the weakest and endow them with Divine strength so that they leave a noble mark upon their generation. Behold the wonder of the worm: so low, so little, so weak, so defenseless, so despised, trampled under the feet of others. When God Almighty picks up this creature of the dust to use as one of His Divine tools, none can withstand this weak worm.
Jacob’s King (Jesus) calls Himself, “a worm and no man.” How we worms should take heart at the thought that our God is the God of the worm.
“Thou shalt thresh the mountains...” No matter how big the circumstances, the highest, strongest, and most stubborn of difficulties will be cut through by this weak instrument of iron.
“Fear not, thou worm..I will help thee, saith the Lord...”
