Reading – Job 25-26

“In comparison, people are maggots; we mortals are mere worms.””
‭‭Job‬ ‭25‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

These are the words of Bildad the Shuhite.

But many have taken them out of context to the point where there is the term “worm theology.”

That school of theology would emphasize our lowness and sinfulness in order to also emphasize our need for God.

It is very true that without the sacrifice and grace and mercy of God, we would be lost in our sin.

But we should also never forget that we were created by God in His image.

By the grace of God, we are His children, joint heirs with Christ. We are His masterpieces created to do amazing things through His grace and power.

Worms and maggots? Those were crushed the moment the cross was dropped into place.

Do you consider yourself a worm or a child of God?
Do you realize the potential for great deeds that God has put in each of His children?
