Knowing God - Nehemiah 1:8-9

(from Pastor)

Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying,

"If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but

if you return to me and obey my commands,

then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon,

I will gather them from there and bring them to the place

I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name"

Nehemiah 1:8-9

Some people stopped by the house last night. The boy asked about our dogs. I let them out and let them run.With great joy they rushed through the yard, bounding after squirrels. After a few minutes, I called and they bounded back. "They obey better than our dogs, don't they?" said the mother.

My dogs didn't know it, but they were modeling a kingdom principle! In this passage, faithfulness is defined as obeying God's commands and returning to him.

In Christ's Love,

a guy who wants to be a faithful old dog

who brings his master joy.

Wonder if I can send my dogs ... and kids ... to his house to learn that principle.
