[b]Well-colored dirt
(Thomas Watson, "Body of Divinity")
Did God make our bodies out of the dust, and that
dust out of nothing? Let this keep down pride! When
God would humble Adam, He uses this expression,
"You were made from dust." Why are you proud,
O dust and ashes?
David says, "I praise You because I am fearfully
and wonderfully made." Your being wonderfully
made--should make you thankful; your being
made from the dust--should keep you humble.
If you have beauty, it is but well-colored dirt!
"For you were made from dust, and to the dust
you will return." Genesis 3:19
