I am home for the first Saturday in some time. I am watching my Border Collie, Sweetie, as she watches me and lays her head on my lap. As I watch her, I see an excellent example of how we should act towards God. If I move, she waits to see what I am going to do to be prepared to be at my every call.
When I move she moves, when I call she comes, when I tell her to sit, she sits. If I want to go for a walk, she is ready to go for a walk. If I want to take a nap, she is ready to take a nap.
What would our relationship with God be like if we waited on God's every move. How would our relationship be different if we were excited everytime God entered the room?
How I wished I would be like Sweetie and wait on God's whim every second. If I were as excited every time I approached God the way Sweetie is to see me, my whole character would be different.
Dogs can teach us to love with great humility. Life would be so much more enjoyable if we learned to honor God the way a good dog honors us.
