For he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust.” I think it’s really, really important to remember that our standing before God doesn’t rest on the degree of our strength or weakness, on our wisdom or foolishness, on our youth or our age, or even on our sin or obedience. Our standing is always and forever based on the perfect righteousness and acceptable sacrifice of Jesus for us.
