MO 9:9{Satan has desired to have us, that he might sift us as wheat; but the Lord Himself holds the sieve in His own hand, and pledges His word that not the least grain shall fall on the earth. We are so glad of that word, "not the least"; not even I, though less than the least of all saints, though feeling as if my only claim upon Christ Jesus is that I am the chief of sinners. "Not the least grain"; for He says, "Ye shall be gathered one by one." Think of His hand gathering you separately and individually out of His million-sheaved harvest; gathering you, one by one always, into His garner, even in that tremendous day of sifting, when He shall thoroughly purge His floor. You may feel a little overlooked sometimes now; only one among so very many, and perhaps not first, nor even second in anybody's love, or care, or interest, but He is watching His "least grains" all the time. A flock of sheep look most uninterestingly alike and hopelessly indistinguishable to us, but a good shepherd knows every one quite well. Yes, the Good Shepherd calleth His own sheep by name here, and "in Zion every one of them appeareth before God.”
Our Savior and our King, enthroned and crowned above,
Shall with exceeding gladness bring the children of His love.
All that the Father gave, His glory shall behold;
Not one whom Jesus came to save Is missing from His fold.
