I had to travel out west last week and stayed in an area loaded with prairie dogs.
Cute little fellers. But boy are they skittish!
Always standing guard, ready to jump in a hole at the slightest threat.
Reminds me how edgy we can get when we give too much attention to the news of the day...
... and how much better off we are when we stay anchored to God and His Word.
I love how the first Psalm describes the life of the one rooted in the Lord.
He's constantly delighting in and meditating on God's law...
And it make him secure, like a tree planted by streams of water... always fruitful no matter what the conditions around it.
... Much preferred to jumping around like a prairie dog, for sure!
