Hey friends! I hope you are having a good week. I am so excited about Crusaders for Christ. We have 8 churches that are joining us and more sign up everyday. God is doing an amazing work. I feel an awakening! Well, today I have to tell you a story about a Tennessee State Trooper friend of mine. It's funny and scary at the same time. But, leads into today's topic. So, let's dig into some of the good stuff.
This trooper was a K-9 officer for the state. He had a drug dog that was mostly lab. Well, the dog had been doing a great job getting drugs off the street and had made a lot of drug seizures. Well, this trooper was at a quarry in Harriman and decided to let the dog off lead to run around. Remember police K-9's are well trained or we want them to be. Well, the K-9 decided to take a swim in the quarry in mid November (very cold). The trooper was a little mad but, he was mostly lab. So, he let him swim for a little while. After a bit he called the dog, but the dog wouldn't come. He called him over and over and still he wouldn't come. He swam around and around in circles and was loosing his strength to swim. Remember this is a police K-9, a well-trained dog, but he just would not come to shore. The trooper realized that if he didn't do something that he would have to explain why his K-9 drowned in a quarry. He started taking off his gun belt and uniform to swim out and get the K-9. By the way this was a big quarry. Just before he jumped in, the trooper finally threw a stick out in the water. When the dog saw it, he swam over, got the stick, and came back and laid it at his master's feet. See, the trooper was calling the dog but, his voice was echoing off the quarry walls. The dog didn't know where it was coming from. He needed more that just a voice calling to him!
Have you ever thought that you may be swimming around carrying your burdens and getting plum wore out, just barely keeping your head above water. Have you ever thought that maybe God has given you a burden because He can't get your attention. He wants you to come and lay it at your Master's feet. Is your heart aching today? Cast your burden at His feet and allow His peace to fill your heart. He can a will sustain you. Lay them on Him, His shoulders are wide and can handle any and all the burdens you have. Have a great day, I love you, and God bless.
