Dirt, handsomely fashioned – Thomas Brooks

“All your life you will sweat to produce food, until your dying day. Then you will return to the ground from which you came. For you were made from dust, and to the dust you will return.” Genesis 3:19.

Our bodies are but dirt, handsomely fashioned. We derive our pedigree from the dirt, and are akin to clay. One calls the body “the soul’s beast.” Another calls it “worms’ food”. Paul calls it “a body of vileness”.
