I spy...

I saw my cat go into the bathroom this afternoon, and as a well-trained human, I went in after him to turn on the bathtub faucet for him to get a drink. As I waited for him to finish, yes, I waited...I saw a solitary ant walking across the floor. One ant on a sea of white tile. It occurred to me again how much bigger God is than I am. Far more so than I am bigger than an ant, but you can see how it would make me think of it.

The ant was in my power. And I could see everything around it. Why are we so afraid to let God lead us? We have such a small picture of what really is. And our God, the "One Who inhabits eternity" (Isaiah 57:15) sees everything.

There was one more thing that made me pause. As I was looking down at that ant, I couldn't imagine being one. Why would I want to? I am so much better than an ant.

I realize this analogy is crass in comparison to what the Lord of Glory did for us. But it makes me think. How much love did He have for us? He became a man...and died to ransom sinners (Matthew 20:28).
