Dust


Great truth: 
·        Dust is the material from which we were made.   Genesis 2:7 ESV
·        Dust is what we return to when we die.  Genesis 3:19 ESV
·        Dust is a reminder of God’s provision.  Genesis 13:16 ESV
·        Dust will even be changed in the end.  I Corinthians 15:53

Great quote:
God created us “…using a grand total of two ingredients: “the breath of life,” and dust. That’s it: Just God’s breath and plain old dust. The result? People. People who can catch fish (1:26), exercise dominion over the world (Genesis 1:26), procreate (1:28), fill and subdue the earth (1:28), dig for gold (2:12), till and keep the garden (2:15), make up names for animals (2:19), speak in verse (2:23), join to one another in marriage (2:24), build cities (4:17), domesticate animals (4:20), play the guitar and the flute (4:21), and make tents and tractors (4:22). And penicillin. And computer chips. And write The Lord of the Rings. And send themselves to the moon. And some of them – by God’s sin-reversing grace – preach the gospel: “[We] have this treasure in jars of clay [that is, dust mixed with water, then baked], to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.”  2 Corinthians 4:7 ESV   http://everydaytheology.net/2015/11/why-god-made-dust-how-a-bit-player-in-the-big-story-reflects-gods-glory/

Great song: Dust in the Wind, Kansas 1977
