Puppies

1 October  2012     

Jeremiah 8:7 Even the stork in the heavens knows her times; and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming; but my people know not the ordinance of the LORD.

Last week Tuesday I took Coco our bulldog to the vet to do an x-ray to see how many puppies she was going to have, unfortunately we could not see it clearly. I then wanted to know how I would know when she was due to have her puppies, he told me to take her temperature each morning and evening and when it drops by 1 degree then she will have her puppies within 24 hours. Friday night it dropped and on Saturday we had to take her to the vet and she had 8 puppies by caesarean.

This got me thinking and we need to also be observant to the changes that are taking place and in so doing be prepared for those changes. So often we are caught by surprise because we have not been observant of those changes, whether it be within ourselves, our community. It is a good thing to take your spiritual temperature through prayer in the morning and the evening and in that way whatever happens, you know where you are. Just as God knew the time of these puppies birth, so God knows your times.

Be encouraged today to be willing to be observant.

Point to ponder: God has our times in His hand.

Question to consider: Are you observant to changes?
