My puppy dog is really sick, and some of the things she does made me think about how much our relationship with God should resemble a dog's relationship with us.
When Chloe got sick, she came to me, curled up in my lap and just wanted to be comforted. When she's hungry, she looks to me. When she needs to go out, she looks to me. When she wants to play, she looks to me. When she's tired, she comes to me. When Harley (our other dog) is picking on her, she comes to me.
She doesn't look for her own food, she doesn't try to do it all herself, she doesn't sit in the corner by herself and mope or just deal with it...she puts all her trust into me. When she doesn't feel good, she knows that if she comes to me, I'll make it better. If she's hungry, she can come to me and I'll feed her. If she's tired, she can come to me and rest. If she's being picked on and is stressed or just wants to be left alone, she comes to me to protect her.
That's how I feel we should be with God. We should put all our trust in Him as our Lord. When something happens, the first thing we should do is go to God, not to our friends. When we need something, the first thing we should do is go to God, not just figure it out somehow. When we need comfort, or rest, or protecton, we should seek God, not try to just deal with it.
It's beautiful, too, because she doesn't wonder when she'll get fed she just knows she will. She doesn't know how I'll make her better, just that I will. Not only do they trust us, they have faith in us, too. So next time you pray, dont' wonder when God will answer it, just know that He will.
