“Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. For He Himself knows our form; He is mindful that we are nothing but dust.” (Psalm 103:13-14, NASB)
“Our God remembers what we often forget … He remembers that we are dust …
When we think of dust, we think of something common and ordinary … Dust speaks of weakness and frailty. But it also speaks of tremendous potential. God made us from dust that we might be weak in ourselves but strong in Him. God took the dust and made clay, and then He took the clay and made a man. Where there is dust, there is potential. He is the Potter; we are the clay …
Where there is dust, there is potential. Where is dust, there is opportunity for growth. Continue to yield to Him and His creative process in your life. Ask Him to mold you after His will.”

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot .
I like that perspective of dust having potential. Potential that is only realized when we allow God to do his work in us.
What an interesting and encouraging way to think of our “dustiness.” What a God, to make something out of dust that can glorify Him.
Joanne, when I think of dust, I normally think about what forms on my furniture not about dust having potential. What an amazing God to see potential when we see only problems.
