'Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!' with a high pitched bark our Fifi is at the sliding glass door announcing her desire to come inside. Someone always responds by letting her in. A few minutes later she is sitting at the door, she tries to make eye contact with anyone who comes near, hoping to be let back out again.
We play this game all day long. We let her out - she investigates her small domain for rambunctious squirrels and birds - and sniffs grass, dirt, flowers, and the air. Only when the warmth of the sun lulls her into a nap on the deck is the game interrupted.
Fifi's meal routine includes lots of excited tale wagging as she anticipates her breakfast or dinner. Even though we feed her the same food every time, she is always eager.
Once upon a time Fifi was a stray living on the streets. After she was hit by a car she still managed to avoid capture. When she finally made it to the shelter her broken leg was too far gone to save. But our 3 legged pet is so trusting- she acts as though we will always be there for her.
Thinking about her complete confidence in us - I wonder if my life shows such confidence in the One who loves all of us so completely.
He will say to them, ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love.
Dear Lord, we know that Your Word tells us to trust You for everything but also to not be lazy but busy and diligent like the ant and prepare for what we know is coming - like next month's bills. Please help us to lay aside our fears and hold onto our faith - so that we may know the peace of living in complete confidence in You. In Jesus name, amen.

That is why I have continued to be faithful to you.
Jeremiah 31:3b NET
But then I talk to the Lord and explain that there are so many things for me to worry about and take care of, I don't want to drop the ball, or fail to be prepared for whatever comes.
Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have.
For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”
Hebrews 13:5 NLT
