“God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.”  Psalm 46:1  NLT

He must think I am in trouble.

We have a new routine on work days when I have to shower early in the morning. Famous chills on the bed knowing he has a few extra minutes to doze before I am out and ready to finish getting dressed. But at the end of the shower I clean the shower walls with a squeegee to help delay the aggregation of water spots. Once in a while it will make that typical squeaking sound as the rubber gets scraped against the glass. And Famous sees me “pawing” at the door in what must look like someone trying to escape. Quickly, he jumps off of the bed and comes to my rescue staying with me until he is assured when I step out of the shower that I am not trapped for good.

Famous instinctively knows I am integral to his existence and well-being. His concern for me comes from his ancestors’ ability to live and survive in packs. They were stronger in numbers than they were on their own.

Do we recognize throughout our years that our existence depends on the One who created us and gave us life? Are we not better with him protecting, defending, and leading us?

Show me Your strength, goodness, and mercy, Father, in times when I need You most.
