DUST
What is the purpose of this life as we know it?
The preacher questioned his audience.
What is the whole duty of man, asked the poet?
To fear God and Keep His commandments (Ecc 12:13)
What is this fear? Is it pain? Is it emptiness?
We dutifully hold full respect for the Architect
To fear Him is to revere Him and uphold His purpose.
We keep His commands, we honor and protect
What we have been blessed to inherit.
We are sons and daughters of our God most high
This is our life’s call so we are able to bear it.
We all know life to be hard in our own right
With different degrees of debt and pain
But all is simply dust where there is love, hope, and faith
Dust is easily brushed aside and wiped away
It leaves no trace, no impression of where it once lay.
We will all be brushed aside in time by the vapor of life.
For the short moments we have where do we turn our efforts?
May we think on the everlasting, the eternal side of life.
May we be prepared to meet our God, may he be our endeavor.
Keep in mind that everything else will go away to waste
Yes, all is simply dust where there is love, hope, and faith
Dust is easily brushed aside and wiped away
It leaves no trace, no impression of where it once lay.
“Then the LORD God formed the man of DUST from the ground and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature” (Gen 2:7).

An Invitation to Give and a
Prayer of Thanksgiving
David was an old man and he knew that his death was draw-
ing near. He had hoped to build a house for God but he was not
allowed to do so. But while he would not be allowed to build
it, he could provide money and materials for the building of it.
David had set aside gold for the things of gold, silver for the
things of silver, bronze for the things of bronze iron for the
things of iron, wood for the things of wood plus all sorts of
precious stones and marble. From his own personal treasures
David gave three thousand talents of gold, and seven thousand
talents of refined silver. Then David invited the people to give,
saying “Who then will offer willingly, consecrating himself
today to the LORD?” (1 Chron. 29:5b RSV). The people
joined with David giving generously to that great work, five
thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand
talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze and a hun-
dred thousand talents of iron. Then all the people rejoiced be-
cause they had offered all this freely to the Lord. David then
prayed to God, blessing and thanking Him for the generous
offering that had been made. He acknowledged that what had
been given was that which belonged to God. ““But who am I,
and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer
willingly? For all things come from thee, and of thy own have
we given thee. 15 For we are strangers before thee, and so-
journers, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like
a shadow, and there is no abiding” (1 Chron. 29:14, 15). David
understood that they were all strangers and “as such they have
here neither right nor property.” They were sojourners and as
such “their lodging is as it were for a night, in the mansion of
another.” Thus they were but stewards of all that was in their
possession. Then he closed out that part of his prayer with
these words, “O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel,
our fathers, keep for ever such purposes and thoughts in the
hearts of thy people, and direct their hearts toward thee” (1
Chron. 29:18). We began a series of reminders of what we had
been able to do in mission work and inviting all to join in this
marvelous work by giving generously to God, and you all re-
sponded in doing exactly that. Like Israel of old, what we were
able to give was only that which belonged to God and which
He had given into our care. We are still stewards of all that we
possess for it is God’s and not our own, and may we rejoice
because we have given willingly to the Lord. When the initial
count was reported to us that we had reached our goal one of
our elders Ron Cobb stood before us to pray to God in praise
and gratitude for what he had allowed us to do. And may we
add to that prayer the request of David that God will continue
to keep such purposes and thoughts in our hearts that we may
continue to see our hearts directed toward Him. May our giv-
ing to Him continue in this way as long as we live. And may
we teach our children and they theirs to always have under-
standing hearts that what we have is not our own but His so
that we will always be willing and active in giving to God’s
work of building up His church here and throughout the world.
Our Wednesday night devotional
will start at 6:30 pm.
