God knows what we're made of
This was encouraging to me. This morning I was reading in Psalm 103, and I came across these verses:
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed, (most translations say something like, "He knows our frame")
he remembers that we are dust. (NIV)
I've been struggling lately with feeling overwhelmed and stressed out, and it was encouraging to remember that God made me, so He knows what I'm made of, what I can handle (nothing--what can dust do?), and He's compassionate enough to help me through. WOW! What a God!

Someone told me once that the Old Testament hardly ever compares God to a Father. In which case this verse is an extraordinary one.
