Remember You Are Dust

A number of Christian churches observe Ash Wednesday. My church does not usually observe the set period known as Lent. But there have been times when I have gone to an Ash Wednesday service. I have found it to be a biblical time of remembrance of our mortality. God often called Israel of old to remember. Remember who I am and who you are before me. Remember what I have done. Remember you will give an account to me. As God told Adam so he speaks to all of us, Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return. Genesis 3:19
It is a call to confession of our sin and transgressions so that we can receive God's gracious pardon based on the death of Christ Jesus for sinners who put their trust in him. Join with me in a composite psalm prayer of repentance.
