“But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.” Genesis 8:1 NLT
Famous is a water dog. And although he rarely has the chance to jump into water (unless it is in a bathtub), he never misses an opportunity once it presents itself. We were invited a few years ago to a nearby friend’s farm. It was a lovely day and the setting secure enough for Famous to run free. If that were not the best way to start an afternoon, he also had new dog buddies! He would run ahead and dart back and wonder why I was not happily running around too.
Then he found it — one of the farm’s two small ponds! I knew there was no denying him the pleasure, and without waiting for me to give the “OK,“ he dived in. Now his buddies had played this game before, and my friend knew all she had to do was hose them off back at the house. But the green pond scum blanketing the surface of the water found a new home in Fame’s white feathering. Suddenly, he looked more like a creature from the green lagoon. And it is a good thing Famous likes water, because it took nearly five baths to shampoo the mess off of him.
God is a refuge in the worst of circumstances. He will not forsake us. He is mighty to save.
Help me, Lord, not only when I know I am in danger but also when unforeseen evil is upon me.
