Genesis 2: 4-7
Here the bible reverses in chronological time a bit in order to give more detail regarding the creation of Adam and Eve.
The details given in verses 4-6 tell us that the creation of man occurred after “streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface”, but before God sent rain to the earth. It also points out that because there had been no rain and there was yet no man to work the earth, “no plant of the field had yet sprung up.”
In verse 7, we learn that God formed man from dust of the ground. Not gold dust, or even very fine dust. Just dust of the ground. Ordinary dust. It is humbling to note that without God’s power we would be no more than ordinary dust. It is awe inspiring to note that God’s power is so incredible that He can create something as amazing as the human body from mere ordinary dust.
Do you ever wonder: “Why did God create me?” – “Why did God make my body the way that He did?” – “Why did God take the time to make me different?”
In verse 7, we also learn that God breathed the breath of life into the nostrils of man and that that is what caused him to become a living being. Dust could not form itself into a body. A body could not give itself life. We cannot live without the gracious blessing of our Lord’s power.
Do you ever wonder: “Why did God give me life?” – “Why did God breath life into my nostrils?” – “Did God create me for a reason?” – “What was God’s intention when He created me?”
