Dust Again

Job 10:9-14 – Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again? Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese, clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews? You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit. “But this is what you concealed in your heart, and I know that this was in your mind: If I sinned, you would be watching me and would not let my offense go unpunished.

Genesis 2:7 – Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Genesis 45:5 – And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.

Psalm 115:3 – Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.

Application:

• ·         Humans and animals alike have the breath of life in them.
• ·         God had a purpose to work through the brothers’ jealous and cruel act.
• ·         If Israel is decimated or destroyed, it is God’s doing; it is not His failure or inability to act, nor is it the achievement of the idols the nations worship. When Israel is revived, that is also God’s doing, and no other god can oppose Him.
