Ambrose is my 4 year old Yorkie shadow. He sees and hears every move I make. There are no steps I take that he is not by my side … and that does include sleeping with his head on my knee cap at night. His world and his life are dependent on me. He may only be a dog but he knows that with me he is safe and fed, groomed, and loved. His complete devotion is in response to my care-giving, love, and of course – the goodie-goodies.

The Psalmist today describes our devotion to God as our Master in a similar way. Being God’s children, we are to completely depend on the care, commands, and calls that come our way. We know we are pretty good at keeping up with the news, our favorite teams, maybe even the Kardashians, but what about our Lord God? As the Psalmist asks, do our eyes (and heart) attend the Lord our God, or are we too easily distracted chasing the squirrels in our lives?
