“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, whose thoughts are fixed on you!” Isaiah 26:3 NLT
Although I have previously described Fame’s attachment as a Velcro dog, meaning he wants to know where I am all the time, he can also be independent and do his own thing. He may go out to sit on the deck or take a snooze on his bed as long as my activity is within earshot. But when I plop down in a chair to watch television or drink my coffee, he takes the opportunity to solicit a scratch behind the ear or a belly rub.
But often in the early morning, as we are starting the day, he will approach with apparently no other agenda but to be close to me. He will sometimes put his front paws up in my lap just to receive a hug. Perhaps in some way he is offering a hug as I am about to depart for a busy day out in the world.
This is such a peaceful moment it casts out all worry and fear of the day which lies ahead. Such is the peace offered by God to anyone who will trust him and allow him to guide their thoughts. But His is a perfect peace which can heal, protect, and direct.
As this morning breaks, Lord, settle my thoughts and my concerns and use me to direct others to Your peace.
