I feel so small sometimes ... not insignificant or unimportant ... just out of my depth.
I don't understand so much of what I see around me, and yet I am called to be a part of it, and seek to live significantly in a world of general elections, tsunamis, superpowers, global corporations ... and so are each of you.
Feeling small has a flipside though ... perhaps we can call it worship? A right sense of scale and the awesomeness of God, and the wonder of it that he takes us, restores us, and gives us a place of influence in this vast and bewildering world.
From everlasting to everlasting, you are God. (Ps 90:2)
But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. (Ps 33:11)
"Remember, even the smallest person can change the course of the future." (Lady Galadriel to Frodo in "Fellowship of the Ring"
