Evening — December 8 — Ecclesiastes 12:7

before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it. — Ecclesiastes 12:7"the dust returns to the ground from which it came". Solomon's meditation on mortality is sobering but not hopeless. The body is sown perishable and raised imperishable. From dust we came and to dust we return, but our flesh will rest in hope and in my flesh i shall see God. Our lowly bodies will be transformed to be like his glorious body.
