Psalm 119:25 I am laid low in the dust; preserve my life according to your word.

God is the giver of life and the one who sustains our lives also.His word comes to the rescue when the dryness and dust of life under the sun threatens to become all that we can see.

Another version says, "My soul cleaves to the dust."  I am reminded of the verses that talk about marriage.  "A man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."  Our groom, Jesus, has called us to leave our dryness and dust and to cleave now to him.  His love rescues us, makes us his own.
