This cartoon has been hanging on my refrigerator since the
fall of 2011. I love the simplicity of the truth it reveals. How true is it
that a dog’s favorite time is always now? Sometimes dogs can provide a
great example of how we should behave in our faith. I know we are a bit more complex
than a dog but come on, look closer, don’t you think that God had some purpose
in creating man’s best friend with some specific traits.
Do you see dogs sitting around concerned about what happened
to them when they were a puppy or what is going to happen to them tomorrow?
There are no doggie support groups or kennels focused on overcoming fear. They
are always living in the moment but yet so dependent on their owners.
How much more should we depend on God in the same way?
Dogs don’t ever worry about tomorrow and they really don’t
care about what just happened. They truly live in the now. Isn’t this what Christ
was talking about?
Matthew 6:34 Message - "Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and
don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help
you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.”
Today, be content with where you are in
your walk. Trust in the now of this moment. Trust that God’s promises
are true, trust that He is ever continuing His work, in your life. Most
of all, don’t ever let go of the HOPE that we all have in Him.
God’s got this.
