As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
    he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
    they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
    and its place remembers it no more.
Psalm 103 : 13-16

I read this verse today and it reminds me that we are but dust. and we should not make too much of ourselves or think too highly of ourselves.  With the pressures of the big city, it is easy to get caught up in the culture of pursuits to have big house, big car, look good in front of others etc. This is all vanity.  Dust in the wind.

I hope more of my life can be invested in things that matter to the Lord..

The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all the oppressed.
Psalm 103:6
