MUSINGS FROM PASTOR BRAD
Every morning, as we get ready to eat breakfast, our dog Baxter jumps up on the chair and starts to shake. I mean, really shake. He looks like a crazy dog in need a fix. And why is he shaking? He wants his treat. He knows he gets it right away, before I sit down with my breakfast (he gets his treat from Amy at the end of her breakfast). But once he gets the treat, he settles down. It reminds me of this verse from Psalm 145, “You open your hand, satisfying the desire of every living thing.”
We have a Lord that provides for us. And this Lord not only provides for us the material things of this life, but all of the other things that we need. We are provided faith and hope. Comfort and strength. Forgiveness and grace. All this given by a loving God who gives us everything. Even better, this is given not because we have earned it but because we are loved.
Even better, we have a God who knows what we need. What we are shaking for, like Baxter for his treat. Of course, sometimes we aren’t even sure we know what we need. But the Lord knows. The Lord knows what we need, how we need to be fed, the ways we need to be strengthened and encouraged and lifted up.
Sometimes we are like Baxter, craving to be fed by our Lord. Sometimes we have no idea what we need. But the Lord satisfies our desires. Our God is there to give us blessings and provide for us. Provide for you. Trust in the Lord who is there for you, showering you with blessing, forgiveness, grace, and salvation. May the Lord bless you today and always.
