Have I not commanded you ...

I am constantly in awe of how my dogs remind me of God’s ever-present love and grace. As I witness Rowdy’s watchful gaze over Rowdy Acres, I find myself grateful for his faithful guardianship and companionship. It mirrors God’s ever-present watch over us, His faithfulness to keep His promises. When you consider God’s mercy and love for each of us, it is humbling to realize how much we are cherished and cared for.

When I look at this photo, it serves as a visual reminder that no matter where we are or what challenges we face, we are not alone. We’re always under His protective and attentive gaze. Rowdy’s presence is a testament to the unwavering love and care that surrounds us daily. His loyalty and dedication are a reflection of the divine protection and guidance that we receive from God.

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? To be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord; God will be with you wherever you go.

Every time I see Rowdy patrolling the grounds, I am reminded of the countless ways in which we are cared for and watched over. His steadfastness is a symbol of the constant support and love we each have in God. May we each invite God’s love and compassion into our hearts daily, allowing it to transform us and bring us closer to Him. This divine love is always available; we just need to ask. This photo captures a moment of peace and assurance, reminding us that we are never truly alone and that we are always under the watchful eye of a loving and holy Father.
