I doubt that I am the only one that does that. You might also
be feeling small, insignificant, and maybe even invisible sometimes. I have felt all of those at one time or
another.
But I reminded myself that my Bible that tells me different.
I have read how God worked in the lives of insignificant and invisible people
in a mighty way. I could easily think of five men who God moved from a place of
insignificance to a position of great ranking.
David was invisible
and God handpicked him while a young shepherd and anointed him to be the king of Israel.
Joseph was invisible
while falsely imprisoned – until his appointed time when God promoted him to second in command to Pharoah in Egypt
and was used by God to save the people from famine.
Moses was invisible,
feeling defeated and done on the back side of the desert until God burned a
holy bush and called him to let His
people go.
Nehemiah was
invisible during his captivity as a cup bearer for King Artaxerxes and God
enabled him to rebuild the walls of
Jerusalem.
Gideon was invisible
as he hid threshing wheat in a winepress when the Angel of the Lord appeared
and called him a mighty warrior and God gave him a victory in battle with only three hundred men.
Recalling the accounts of each of these men assured me that God
sees me. He sees you. We are not invisible to Him. But if you feel that way
today I would suggest you read about David, Joseph, Moses, Nehemiah and Gideon.
Let their stories tell you what they told me today. We are not invisible.
David: 1 Samuel 16:1-13,
Joseph: Psalm 105:16-22, also see Genesis 41:39-41, Moses: Exodus 3:1-10, Nehemiah:
2:4-6, Gideon: Judges 6:11-12
