As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
Sometimes when we are down and depressed we forget how great our God is. We forget that God is the Creator and Maker of our soul & body. We forget that time and all circumstances are under His rule. We need to remember that these bodies we call home are temporary vessels that will return to the earth and that the capacity to do more than the Spirit allows is impossible. God will do everything He desires with this collection of dust in the most compassionate and love of ways.
There are no flaws. There are no defects in God's kingdom because everything He creates is perfect; God does not create junk. It's true that people can take something like this and distort the truth but we need to see everything as dust in different shapes & forms. When we allow God's desire to rule over us we live so blessed but it's when we disobey where we do things God's instructions clearly states not to do, that's when problems arise. God even perfectly gives us repentance, which allows us to break away from worldly patterns. As I look at my existence as dust, held together by love and compassion, how can I not declare Him a great God?
Father God, I reflect on my existence and I'm so humbled. My eyes has seen this body as something magnificent and beautiful but today I stand corrected. I see myself as dust, held together by the magnificent and beautiful One! LORD, free my mind of all the lies & distractions which prevent me from living for You. Help me see things the way You want me to. In the beautiful name of Jesus I pray, Amen!
