A very interesting perspective on just how
dependent each one of us is. Think about that as you read today’s writing…
DAY 360
Why Does God Play in the Dust?
On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the
body which seem to be weaker are necessary; and those members of the body,
which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our
unseemly members come to have more abundant seemliness, whereas our seemly
members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member
which lacked, that there should be no division in the body, but that the
members should have the same care for one another. --I Corinthians 12:22-25
The weakest creature is the one that needs the most support. The river can live without man, but man cannot live without the river.
In fact, the whole earth can exist without man, but man cannot live without the
earth. Everything on the earth, in this sense, is greater than man. Man is made
of dust, not dirt or soil that have nutrients in them; dust has nothing to offer. From the beginning God made
everything to support the weakest and most precious thing to Him: man!
When I use this example at the
end of a conference, I follow with the question, "Who is the weakest
person here?" I answer my own question, "The person who needed the
most support to be here! Who is that person? Mike! I needed people to donate money
to buy my plane ticket, others to organize, several interpreters, electricity,
artists, editors, drivers, an audience, food, and more." It takes so much to support this
little bit of dust that I am left with nothing to boast in save Christ. I then ask the people to pray that
night, not for the speaker who is dust, but for all those who support the dust.
It is a great revelation for all of us.

Michael never forgot those who supported his
going. He knew how important each support person/equipment/event/etc. is to
each of us being where we are today. It would do each of us some good to stop
and thank God for all He has provided in the years He has given us. We are much
weaker than pride wants us to acknowledge.
