Psalms 103:14

Psalms 103:14. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

Our bodies are just animated dust, and our souls are so weak and feeble that even they might be compared to dust in his sight, - not iron or granite, but simply dust. What men call "the laws of nature" are so stern that it is a wonder that men live as long as they do, for earthquakes and tornadoes and volcanoes are found that no man can bind; and when so many men are constantly crossing the sea it is a wonder that so many of them ever come to land again.
