Don't Bite the Dust



Psalm 18:41-42
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
to the LORD, but he did not answer.
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
I trampled them[a] like mud in the streets.

Sometimes it's hard to realize we serve God. God does not serve us. God fills our requests within His will because He loves us. It's so easy to hear people in the world praying to God as if He owed them something. He already gave all His love and His Son to die on the cross for our sins and even that wasn't good enough for them. I can see where the enemy puts blindfolds over the eyes of those who chose to walk in the world. It's just sad to see these people down in the dirt.

God does not want us to be amongst the dirt and dust. He sent His Son so that beauty would form from ashes. He breathed His breath of life into the dust to create life. We do not have to live in that dust. We need to rise up away from the enemy and show Satan we will no longer live in the dirt and filth we have been living in. Time to exhume ourselves.

Our flesh is nothing but dust. When we shed our flesh or dead skin it goes back to being dust. When our spirits are not present in our bodies our bodies become dust. However, we are not to live by our flesh. We are to live by our spirits. Keep alive keep breathing and keep glorifying the one who is the Giver of Life.

Galatians 5:16
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
