worm in Isaiah 51
WURM
This creature shows up in Isaiah 51:8: “For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 51:8
“For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.””
What kids can learn
When you hear worm in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 51:8 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
