Genesis 2:4–7 (NKJV)

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5 and every shrub of the field was not yet on the earth, and every plant of the field had not yet sprung up. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
6 But there went up from the earth a mist and watered all the face of the ground.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

🌿 Reflection:

There’s something humbling—almost offensive—about this truth:

We are made of dust.

Not marble, not silver, not light. Dust. The same substance that gathers in forgotten corners and stirs at our feet when we walk through dry places.

But in God’s hands, dust becomes destiny.

He did not speak man into being like the rest of creation. He formed—with intention, intimacy, and touch. And then, as if to seal the sacredness of our frame, He breathed into it.

Could it be that our worth doesn’t come from what we’re made of—but from Who touches us?

When you feel small, overlooked, or unworthy, remember this: the same breath that brought Adam to life is the breath that sustains you now. And God still finds dust worth shaping.
