“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you.” I Peter 5:7 NLT
I brought Famous home as a puppy. The first week that summer was so much fun! I did not even mind the midnight trips outside to assist with the house training. But after the first week his energy level dropped as an infection set into his respiratory system.
The veterinarian was baffled, but antibiotics were prescribed. Then his appetite waned, and even the breeder’s advice was not beneficial in getting him to eat. IV fluids were given the next week as he began to lose what little weight was on his small furry frame. Then new antibiotics were ordered. Finally, when he could barely pick himself up off of the floor, I felt it was necessary to force feed small morsels of food to the poor guy. A few days later his energy level was noticeably improved and his strength began to return. His appetite increased and his congestion abated.
Through the crisis I realized how much I cared for him and had been caring for him even before I brought him home. Yet, the love I had quickly developed for this puppy was nothing compared to the care God has for you and for me. Knowing God cares affords us a marvelous courage and peace in times of trouble.
Heavenly Father, I cast all of my cares and doubts upon you. Thank you for loving me enough to handle even my most insignificant worry.
