Genesis 2:4–9 (ASV)

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.

5 And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground;

6 but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

🌿 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.
