To continue this series, in this post I would like to share a strange habit that Scot (and for that matter, all beagles) had when he was younger. Whenever we took up his dish to fill with his pet-food, he would be twirling with joy (just like how Charles Schultz would draw Snoopy dancing for joy in his Snoopy cartoon strip) and he would not stop until we place his dish right in front of him.
One day, as I was preparing his dinner and I saw his dance of joy, the Lord quizzed me on my attitude towards feeding on His Word. Although Scot received the same food every dinner, he was never tired of eating the pet formula he had since he came home to us and he was ever so cheerful when he would hear us pouring his daily portion into the dish.
I felt a gentle loving reminder from the Lord that I should learn from Scot how I receive His Word daily into my heart:
1. that I should be joyful that I can sit at His feet and draw from Him;
2. that I should not become familiar with His Word but should appreciate Him with thankfulness.
