"THERE IS ONE DWELLING ABOVE THE CIRCLE OF THE EARTH,

THE DWELLERS IN WHICH ARE AS GRASSHOPPERS......"   ISAIAH 40:22


 

 
 
 
 

Are we nothing more than just grasshoppers to the Almighty God, Jehovah?
The Scripture partially quoted above may indicate that. 

But, reason on what would happen if one day while sitting in the grass enjoying the summer day, you found a grasshopper on the lawn. And to your great surprise, it hopped onto your leg and then into your hand. This would indeed be cause for surprise. But, then you said,"Get off my hand grasshopper" and immediately it did and jumped back onto your leg. You might be surprised to see this happen. So, to make sure it was just a coincidence you say to the grasshopper, " Jump back into my hand." Immediately that grasshopper jumped back into your hand. You can't believe what just took place and are just amazed beyond words. 

You began to give orders to this grasshopper, with the hopes no one is watching. " Get on my left shoulder" and that is exactly what the grasshopper immediately, without hesitation did. "Get on my right shoulder." I did just so. 

You began to feel you have indeed found something very special and perhaps even very valuable. Then to your great dismay, after giving several orders obeyed by this grasshopper, he jumps into the grass. You cannot see him and you look so hard because this is no ordinary grasshopper. This one is very special because it is so obedient to you.

 This is the kind of feelings Jehovah has for those who are not just humans, but obedient ones. They      are very priceless to Jehovah. He looks at the world of humankind and takes out from among them the
very special obedient ones and treasures them as precious to Him.

So next time this system keeps telling you that you are worthless and no good. Or when you get discouraged because you were unable to do what you would like to do, to please our Grand Creator.
Remember the small insignificant grasshopper and it may lift you up and give you the joy you need to
keep you moving ever forward in your precious relationship with Jehovah, who knows you are so special and treasures you so much.
