By the sweat of your brow
will you have food to eat
until you return to the ground
from which you were made.
For you were made from dust,
and to dust you will return.
will you have food to eat
until you return to the ground
from which you were made.
For you were made from dust,
and to dust you will return.
Genesis 3:19
Stop for a moment, and consider how much of our lives are merely routine.
* We get up
* We shower (hopefully)
* We get dressed
* We get something to eat
* We go to work
And on, and on, and on. Meetings, travel, activities, even our vacations are crammed with events. Our lives are so full of stuff!
But are we making a difference? When your time on this Earth is over, will you be remembered for all your activities and work and stuff, or will you be remembered as one who made a difference in the lives of others?
We are told in Scripture that we were made from the dust and we will return to the dust. Between those two dusty times is what we have to offer. When I was a bit younger, a group called Kansas, performed a song called "Dust in the Wind" and part of the lyrics included the line "All we are is dust in the wind."
Our routines will simply be taken over by someone else, but will our lives leave a memory worth remembering?
