01-11-08 God remembers -- Psalm 103:13-14
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. -- Psalm 103:13-14I need this verse. I need to know that God knows my limitations. I need to know that God knows my weaknesses, my breaking points, how small and fragile I really am.
We think we need to do so much for God. But God understands how little we are able to do for Him. That's why most of what we are trying to do, God has already done for us.Remember how Adam was formed. God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, breathed into Him the breath of life, and Adam became a living soul. 930 years later, the dust fell. But the living soul -- God's breath -- lived on.
God has breathed His breath into us. That breath will overtake everything that is weak and fragile, corrupt and flawed in us. God's work in us will endure. Meanwhile, He is gentle with those of us who live in houses of clay.
Be encouraged!
