I confess: I love dogs. They are simply wonderful creatures. OK, there are some that are not-so-nice, but the overwhelming majority will love you unconditionally for life!
This little guy is asleep in an old sneaker that is both well-chewed on and obviously comfortable. From the look on this puppy’s face, he could be the poster-boy for contentment.
Contentment is something we all could use a rather large dose of lately. Admit it, 2020 has been a very tough year, and 2021 may not be much better. America is in for problems; that is for-sure.
But, there is hope for those who follow the LORD-GOD, the creator of everything around us. Consider, for a moment, the words of Isaiah the prophet…
Isaiah 26 ( World English Bible )
1 In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
3 You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
Judah, was to keep the faith, and therefore be steadfast in perfect peace because of the Almighty. Millions of people in The United States of America are Christians; certainly God’s promise of peace can apply to them as well.
No matter what lies ahead of us, the truth found in Isaiah 26:3 will never change. Trust in God and have contentment, for THE LORD GOD will give you peace.
