He remembers that we are dust.

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

The LORD works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.
_from Psalm 103

Our God remembers our human frailty far better than even we do. He knows our spiritually impoverished condition and has compassion, though he himself has never lacked a thing, has never had sins to be blotted out.

Likewise I believe that he remembers that we are "dust." More than mere spirits, we have physical needs. He pities us in this as well, though he himself does not require food nor sleep nor shelter. He works justice for the oppressed. He did not leave Israel in Egypt with the promise of an eternal Promised Land, but led them out of physical oppression into a place of earthly abundance and prosperity (contingent on several factors and choices, of course, just as he does now, but he led them to it all the same).

Though Old Testament shadows are fulfilled more perfectly, and the reality of the eternal is now more clearly seen, yet God still cares about our life on this earth. He removes our transgressions and heals our diseases. Forget not all his benefits.
