"How much do you trust?"

I was sitting on our bed, putting my shoes on. One of our yellow Labs, Princess, was on the floor at my feet. That’s where she usually spends the morning as we get ready to go. She just really wants to be with us and enjoys some time stretched out on the floor of our bedroom.

So there she is, lying on the floor, eyes closed. I just couldn’t resist. I took my foot—the one without the shoe—and started rubbing her belly ever so softly and gently. She never opened her eyes. She was still, the corner of her mouth turning up ever so slightly. Then after about a minute, she rolled over a bit for me to rub another part of her belly. She still kept her eyes closed. And pretty soon I was in the floor with her, rubbing her with my hand now, and she still hadn’t opened an eye. She totally trusted me to rub, not hurt her.

Trust is so precious, isn’t it? Do you trust God that much? To just get as close as you can to God’s presence and just lie there, letting God care for you and give you the good stuff of life?

Trust God today. Lie down with God as you listen to life and make a life.
