God Uses Pets?

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    do not depend on your own understanding.

Proverbs 3:5 

I had to take my dog, Woody Bear, to the vet the other day because I found a lump under his skin.  Did you know that God uses our pets to make His point sometimes?  How do I know this? Well, Woody Bear does not like going to the vet and he shakes so badly that the car vibrates.  I pet him and talk to him and try to explain that it's for his own good that we have to go to the vet.  He probably doesn't understand what I'm trying to explain to him, but he trusts me to get him there and be there when it's time for him to come home.

Now....I look at my own life.  I don't always have any idea what God has planned for me, and if God tried to explain it to me, I would still be nervous...just like Woody Bear!  However, I trust that God will never leave me or turn His back on me because He has never let me down before and is not about to start now.  So I trust Him even, and especially when, I don't understand what's going on or why it's going on.

God uses whatever He must to reach us and teach us...even pets!
