We Are Human!
Psalms 103
KJV
14+ For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
Psalms 78
KJV
39+ For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
How sober and illuminating the above passages are by pointing to us the truth that we often overlook, “we are but dust, a wind that passeth away and cometh not again! “
It is unwise if not extreme foolishness to expect perfection from dust or wind! And yet, this is what we have done concerning ourselves
We have expected soo much from each other that we have become disappointed with each other. We have lost faith, trust and confidence in one another. Yes!
Even God does not expect that much from us so He is not disappointed, which thought is revealed through the scriptures!
Read it
Psalm 103:14
NIV
[14] For he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
Psalm 78:39
NIV
[39] He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
Psalms 8
KJV
4+ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Psalms 144
KJV
3+ Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
It takes a mature mind to know and understand that “ man is human and not perfect “ therefore must not be fully trusted!
No relationship is perfect since it is about “ dust and clay ” so make room for human failures! Know whom you deal with for all men are not at the same level of maturity. It is not about age but maturity
Manage information and anything you intend to disclose and make public. Know whom to address! Even Paul so admonished
1 Corinthians 2
KJV
6+ Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: ( mature )
1 Corinthians 2:6
NIV
[6] We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,
Be careful you do not cast your pearls before swine! Many are hurt because they credited some with wisdom only to discover to their disappointment that they are undeserving, they are nothing but “dust”.
Dearly beloved, we are human, dust, Clay, wind etc ; that will not return ; we have limitations so don’t trust fully, else you’ll be let down as is the case with others.
Painful experience to share! I wish I had known this earlier.
