Be a Dung Beetle

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return, 

This verse on above is found in Genesis Chapter 3 and to my understanding it has to do with the hardship that we go through in life. To my understanding in life most people go through the hardship of life whether it is hard labor or even office work most people still have to deal with the daily struggle and grind of the work life environment Being at work I have recognized that there is a standard way of greeting when asking a fellow coworker how are they doing to where they traditionally respond with, "Good" or even sometimes with, "I can't complain." Thinking about the normal way of small talk conversations we know that if we really think about how things in life can be we recognize that things can always be worse. Well how worse can they be? Food for thought? 

The dung beetle came to mind on how the Dung beetle on a daily lives off of Dung (Crap) and due to this they are able to sustain their lives. I remember hearing on tv or scrolling though social media to reading or hearing that due to dung beetles we have that many more trees planted because of the dung that they take back to their caves. If the dung has seeds in it the seed may stay in the cave of the dung beetle and within time sprout life and grow in to a tree. 

Note: The dung beetle lives off of dung on a daily and the seeds from the dung sprout out life. A type of cycle that appears to be a circle of life.

Understanding that Life can be worse remember the dung beetle and by some luck of chance be greatful that you were created in God's image. If for some reason you find yourself going through a difficult struggle that sh*t appears to hit the fan. I recommend that you take the time to offer the dung your going through in life and give it to the Lord and allow Him to plant it in the Garden of Life and provide you with a wonderful testimony that may give others the courage needed to overcome their own struggles of life. 

This may be one of the reasons why the Dung Beetle was Worshipped in ancient Egypt. So Stride on little dung beetle dealing with the daily struggle of life.
