What does it mean to be called a 'worm' in God's eyes?

In Isaiah 41:14, God refers to His people as 'worms,' highlighting their humble and seemingly insignificant state relative to His greatness. This metaphor serves to remind believers that despite feeling weak or powerless, they are valuable instruments in God's plan. The acknowledgment of our lowly state drives us to rely on God’s strength. It underscores the concept in Reformed theology that even the weakest among us can play a crucial role in glorifying God, as He uses the weak to confound the strong and calls us to trust in His love and purpose for us.
