Dust

"My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word." Psalm 119:25 ESV

Amazing how dust can cling to things. Sitting on my couch, I see the evidence of that. 

The dust of this world clings to me. It can weigh me down. Slows my walk. Sometimes it can be a slog. 

Does life have to be a slog? Do I have to be weighed down day after day? The evidence of this clinging dust is everywhere. 

Preserve my life, quicken my life according to your word. Revive me.

Your promises build my faith. Your Word changes the atmosphere, shakes off the dust. 

"He has blessed me in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ." Ephesians 1:3 

His incomparable great power is for me, working for me. 

He has shown to me the riches of His grace expressed in His kindness to me, in Christ Jesus.

"His Divine power has given me everything I need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called me by his own glory and goodness. 2 Peter 1:3

"I cling to your testimonies O Lord; let me not be put to shame." Psalm 119:31 ESV

What am I clinging to? Am I tying my identity to the dust? No, I cling to Your Word, to You Jesus. My identity is based in what You say. 

"I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart." Psalm 119:32 ESV

Oh yes, my heart once weighed down by the dust, is now enlarged. Enlarged to run in the path of your word. I'm all out! No hesitation! No looking back, no looking inward.

Free of the dust, free of self.
