I Can't Even Supply My Needs

I thought I would drift form the normal article and share a few thoughts that I gained from my Cock-A-Poo pup.

Higgins left us this year for Doggy Heaven, but the lessons he taught me are still relative today. So, I thought for the next few months that I would share some of life's lessons that this cute little friend taught me.

I can't supply all my needs for myself.
Philippians 4:19 - But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

The first thing that I learned from my little Cock-a-poo Higgins is that he cannot supply even the most minute things in his life without my help. The fact is that I have to supply him with his daily food. Higgins is a house dog. He can't run down and chase anything to eat. Besides that, have you ever seen a Cock-a-poo? They are little dogs. A whole pack of these little rag muffins couldn't bring down a deer if the deer was just standing there looking at them. No, everyday, not every other day, or just once in a while, or even just whenever I feel like it, I have to make sure that he has his daily supply of food waiting for him.

What happens if I let his food dish get low on food? Higgins has learned that if he comes to me and paws at my leg, I usually figure out that he is out of food and needs to have his supply replenished. When he communicates to me that he has this need, I most always stop what I'm doing and and go see if he's needing food or water.When I am at his food or water dish, he gets so excited and so thankful that he can't stop wagging his tail and dancing around the area where his food is. He is truly appreciative when I get him his food.

It's the same way with me and God. He supplies all my needs. Especially here in the U.S.A., but throughout most of the civilized world, many times people get themselves in trouble. When I begin to think that I can fend for myself. After all, I live in the most prosperous country in the world. I go to work everyday, I make my own money, I buy my own food, pay my own bills, and yes I pretty much take care of myself. It's not long before I find myself in trouble, because I've gotten sick and can't go to work, or the car broke down, or I was just careless and spent too much money on something stupid and I find that I am sinking and realize again that I have to have God's help. Then I once again realize that He was the one supplying the job, my health, and my wisdom. Suddenly it becomes all too clear again, that I cannot supply my needs for myself.
