A Bucket of Dust

Let's follow convention; I'll try and explain the title of this blog. Honestly, I just picked one of my favourite phrases and it turned out most had been claimed as titles already. And googling for "bucket of dust" told me that I hadn't been the only one to invent this phrase. But well. I'll give my explanation for choosing it. 

There is this verse in Isaiah 40 where the prophet compares the nations to a drop in a bucket and as dust on the scales: 

Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales; he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.

I am just one speck of dust on God's scales, in my turn filling a little bucket with dust. I'm glad God left so much dust for me to gather.
