Hoping For the Best For Man's Best Friend
I was hammering some nails into some boards in weatherizing my trailer.
My dog was there.
I offered him the hammer.
You'd like to help me wouldn't you Junior?
He pulled his paw away from the hammer, embarrassed at how limited the capacity of his canine hand is to hold things.
I could tell he would like to do more than chase cats, bark at passing cars.
It must be frustrating to be kept on a cable all day every single day.
Yes, a dog's life is all about learning patience.
I for one have hope for my dog and all dogs, cats etc.
I hope GOD is Savior for them in the sense that He saves them from the limitations that they are saddled with - how??
I hope earnestly that He in His divine magnanimity has arranged for them to "move up" after death.
Much like Christ Himself tells us that we move up to become "equal to the angels"(Luke 20.35-37).
But how does that apply to dogs, etc??
They would move up to humanhood and return to Earth as people.
And at last be able to pick up a hammer and drive some nails all the way home.
PS: that way God would become not only Savior of the World in terms of the human world.
Rather He would become Savior of the World in the fuller sense - all the creatures of the world !!!
