“From his throne he observes all who live on the earth.”  Psalm 33:14  NLT

There are times when I have a wonderful problem. I can be sitting on the couch in my living room reading or watching television when I would like to get up for a drink of water or a snack to eat, or maybe just to check the phone or the clothes dryer. The problem is Famous has fallen asleep on top of my feet, and I know he will wake if I try to rise from my seat.

This is one of those wonderful circumstances where he has drawn close to me and represents the satisfaction he has found in my life. The security of our home, the blessings of food and shelter, the luxury of owning a pet are all wrapped up for me in this moment. I could ignore it and move anyway, but taking even a few moments to wait and treasure the gift of companionship and pet ownership restores my heart to gratitude.

Lord, help me to draw closer to Your throne today and know Your deep, deep love for me.
