An object lesson from God

Written May 15th, 2010---
He (God) had me lie down on the gravel road yesterday. I was positioned there to gain a perspective.
To get eye level with the dirt. To see life from a rocks perspective. To see myself from His perspective.
So there I was lying prostrate on the middle of our gravel road. What I saw were small rocks, smaller rocks, sand, dirt and dust. From that position EVERYTHING WAS ABOVE ME. I felt vulnerable, small, and I began to identify with the gravel. (Thankfully the traffic on 70th Ave is virtually none existent.)
Compared to the universe we (the gravel and I) are BOTH mere specks. My ancestor Adam was made from The same material, and I began to get a feel (quite literally) for how small I am.
Then my mind suddenly went to the position I had assumed to see the rocks. Flat on my stomach, nose to nose with the dirt. The Bible says God Stoops to look at the heavens …I think to see us on earth he must have to get down on His stomach. quite the picture huh? Beyond that, just think of God becoming a rock! Wow, ok, so this is not new information, but GOD knows I am a visual learner so He gave me this picture to put myself in perspective. I often would get disappointed after a great time of reading God’s word alone with Him and feeling like nothing could get me down, but all of a sudden things would bother me and I would not feel like the same person who had just prayed “God your awesome and I want to live for you!” along with allot of other nice things. On the way home I thought to myself “Sheash, I am just a grain of sand I have allot of self importance for a grain of sand. It causes some heated discussions at home when this grain of sand’s will is crossed. I don’t have to take myself so seriously because I am completely and utterly dependant upon Him.” It is really amazing the worth that God does give us His children. It certainly is not earned of deserved. How great is our GOD!
