He Remembers That We Are Dust

The Lord judges in favor of the oppressed and gives them their rights. He revealed his plans to Moses and let the people of Israel see his mighty deeds. The LORD is merciful and loving, slow to become angry and full of constant love. He does not keep on rebuking; he is not angry forever. He does not punish us as we deserve or repay us according to our sins and wrongs. As high as the sky is above the earth, so great is his love for those who have reverence for him. As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our sins from us. As a father is kind to his children, so the LORD is kind to those who honor him. He knows what we are made of; he remembers that we are dust.

Psalm 103:6-14

If you are under a heavy load today, take comfort in the knowledge that the LORD will never burden you with more than you can carry.

God, who knows our load limit,

graciously limits our load.
