Early Morning Patrol

Sarah the Wonder Dog is at it again!

I never have to worry of silly things like forgetting to lock the back door. She is up and patrolling her domain.

I'm pretty sure she and the next door neighbor have a set time they meet at the gate every morning to compare how security is doing. They had quite a meeting this morning. There was howling going on for at least ten minutes.

It exhausted Sarah. She is back in her bed taking a well-deserved nap. I choose to carry on my new morning reading a favorite passage from Psalm 8:

O Lord, our Sovereign,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.

  Out of the mouths of babes and infants
you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
    to silence the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

    the moon and the stars that you have established;

what are human beings that you are mindful of them,
    mortals[a] that you care for them?

    you have put all things under their feet,

all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field, 
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas

O Lord, our Sovereign,

 how majestic is your name in all the earth!

How can I be anything but grateful as I think on my God this morning? The very One who is extravagantly generous and incredibly compassionate; the One whose love knows no bounds and whose grace is abundant to all who will receive.

I will let Sarah go on thinking she is Queen of this territory when I know all I need is the One True God -- to God be the glory!

Enjoying the journey,

Debra
