Dust You Shall Eat - Genesis 3:14

Genesis 3:14 ESV 
The Lord God said to the serpent, 
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.

We are made from the same dust where the serpent crawls. That is why we have such an affinity for his temptations. We share common ground. It is this ground we must rise above, out of the miry clay. 

The alternative is to be eaten by the snake.
