Witnesses for God

Isaiah 43:12c

“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.”

Good morning Zebras,

In the evening when I walk in the park I often see the same man with his Queensland Heeler.  This dog is incredibly well trained and the man loves to show him off.  He puts the dog on a park bench and tells him to stay and then he walks away.  He doesn’t just walk a few feet either, he walks a long ways away, and that dog stays on the bench and he doesn’t jump down until his owner gives the signal.  But when that signal comes the dog flies across the park to be at his master’s side. 

The first few times I saw him I was impressed with the dog, but the other night my attention switched over to the owner.  You can tell just by the way he walks that he is proud of his dog. His dog is not like the other dogs in the park.  It is different, it stands out, it doesn’t get distracted by other dogs or people.  It is obvious who its master is.  And that makes the man happy.

And I thought “I hope God feels that way about me. I hope I make God happy. I hope my actions let everyone know it is God and God alone that I am following.”

And I’m guessing you feel that way too.

I love you little Zebras, let us live today in a way that is honoring to God, in a way that declares to everyone who is watching that the Lord is our God and we do exactly what He tells us to do, even if it is just sitting on a bench.  

Love,

Jill
