“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You.” (Psalm 139:17,18).
When was the last time you sat back, and looked up into the vast night sky, gazing at all the stars twinkling above you? Or perhaps in the daytime, enjoyed the white fluffy clouds, moving gracefully across the sky, with the sunshine peeping through them? When was the last time, you gazed in awe at a beautiful golden sunset? Take a few minutes, right now, and sit back and relax. When we ponder upon these things, there is only one thought we can hold, and that is how powerful and wonderful God is, to create such beauty for us to behold. He loves us so much, that He has taken care to arrange all things for us, for our good. His thoughts for us are good. He has promised never to leave us or forsake us, and He is always with us. What joy there is to know that God is omniscient. He knows all about you and me, and every detail of our life is important to Him. God is personally concerned about YOU!
Have you ever held a tiny kitten in your hand, and thanked God for His creation? She is so fragile, and adorable, looking up at you with those precious eyes? As she grows, she enjoys playing with you, chasing after her toys, or lazily sitting under a sunbeam coming in from the window, and washing herself. You grew to love this little creature, and she became a part of your family. You became protective towards her, and surely there is nothing you would not do to give her a good life.
I am sure you will never forget the moment you first laid eyes on your puppy! What joy it was to hold her in your arms, and enjoy her kisses on your face! What fun it is to play games with this precious, loyal, member of your family! She has inborn instincts to protect those who care for her, and will put her own life at risk to save them. She is truly a faithful companion and friend!
What a Mighty God we serve, that He would create such creatures for us to love, and to love us! Can you picture Him smiling as He creates each animal, great and small? In Genesis Chapter One, it says that after He created every living creature, He saw that it was good.
God is concerned about you because He loves you. He is also concerned about everything that He has created, because it concerns you. When a precious pet is lost, or sick, or dies, we grieve. When we bring our concerns to our Heavenly Father, He is ever present, to hear us and answer our prayer so that our joy may be full. For those of us who love our pets, Christian Hope Network’s “ HopeNet Pets” Ministry has been created for the purpose of bringing pet lovers together to hold each other, and our pets up in prayer. “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” (Matt. 18:19). Our God is a God of miracles! There is nothing too hard, or too small, for Him to handle. He is concerned about every detail of our life, and that includes the pets we choose to love. We can believe for Him to not only hear our prayers, but answer them, for His glory.
