Which End of the Telescope?

The prophet Isaiah describes the sweeping magnitude of Jehovah's saving work in the Messiah:

"It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."  Isaiah 49:6

I have an impoverished mind when it comes to figuring out my God.  The salvation I imagine is always "too light," too small.

I desire--and pray for--deliverance from stress, from mindless work, from disappointment; but God often says "it is too light a thing," and then He brings about weightier salvations:  strength to my bones and soul; spirit-grown patience, love, and forgiveness.  His plan is not accomplished in small, compensating handouts, but in an incomprehensible work bearing the prints of infinite Hands and part of a great glorifying salvation to the ends of the earth.
