I would like to consider the Hebrew letter called “Yod”. All the Hebrew letters have meaning and the “Yod” the smallest of letters is symbolic of the “right hand” or “power.” “Yod” is the first letter of God’s name and depicts His power (right hand). “Yod” being the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet points out the humility of God.
God humbles himself to look upon the heavens and the earth yet He would come and relate to us. When Yeshua (Jesus) washed the feet of his disciples He revealed not only the Son in this act but the Father as well. Yeshua was imitating the Father (as He always did) – even though He was the one due the honor and was the master He humbled himself and served his disciples.
It is important for us to learn humility that we might imitate the Father and walk in His power. God looks to and fro throughout the whole Earth to find someone whose heart is wholly His that He might show himself strong on their behalf – humility comes before honor. Giving our hearts to God is an act of humility.
“Yod” also the represents the small workings that evolve into something great. Great undertakings are a series of small actions that must begin in small steps of accomplishment. We are told not to despise the day of small things – small workings accumulate into something large if continued.
Another aspect of the “Yod” is its representation of the “world to come”. The “world to come” is a place and time where the humble will feel comfortable. It is a place where small acts of kindness will be acknowledged. It is a place where the most humble person in the universe dwells – God Himself!
