Tail Wags & True Hearts: A Canine Ode to Loyalty 


Loyalty is not measured by the length of time, but by the persistence of its unwavering presence. A dog may not always be by our side, but the echo of their loyal heart resonates forever. As Mark Twain eloquently observed: 


"The more I learn of people, the more I like my dog." 


Mark Twain's insightful observation truly hits home. It highlights the unwavering loyalty we often find in animals, a quality that can sometimes feel rare in the complexities of human interactions.

Daytime, Nighttime, and Timeless Prayer: Embracing God’s Lovingkindness: A reflection of Psalms 42:8

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

Psalms 42:8


The three partitions of which we have to share in and continue therein. Observe: The daytime, the nighttime are both set in a time frame, night and day, but prayer is without a fixed time.


As you read this, being awake this morning, it is because the Lord has commanded His lovingkindness toward you, in the daytime. If you are about to fall into the slumber of sleep. Likewise, “the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime that is to come.”  

And when all is quiet, but the depth of your thoughts flooding your mind at night, for the Lord’s loving kindness during the day, may your lips be a portal from your inner being wherewith songs…

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗦𝗗𝗢𝗠 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗕𝗦: 𝗕𝗘𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗛


Proverbs 15:13 tells us, A joyful heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.


The passage is self-explanatory, yet a closer look reveals valuable lessons.


The first is the contrast between joy and sorrow. In our modern world, people often accept sadness as a justification for withdrawing from their surroundings, believing it will lead to healing. Unfortunately, this isolation can deepen sorrow and break the spirit.


The "joy" mentioned in Proverbs comes from repentance, the turning away from unproductive old ways. Seclusion alone won't bring joy. Reflection and a willingness to change the behaviors that led to isolation are essential.


Overthinking steals joy. When fixated on problems, we lose sight of solutions. Every sigh depletes our energy.


Those who encounter love in the fullness of their years, having never basked in its glow, are confronted with their deepest fears upon its unveiling. The terror of losing this newfound treasure transforms them into their own adversaries, besieged by a tempest of worry and anxiety.


Based on the painting; Fragile Yet Unshattered: The Journey of Two Souls

Unfulfilled expectations can be a bitter pill to swallow, not because we deny reality, but because of the time we've invested in hope. Yet, through endurance the sweetness of a realized dream will become a reality tp those who endure and the joy will be unparalleled in the end.


Reading from Psalms 21:5

His glory is great in thy salvation: honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.


Honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him. (You the believer)

Not only are you now saved, furthermore:

Honor and majesty are laid upon you. (Through Christ)


Honor speaks of an imposing form and appearance. That all will see. Beauty, comeliness, excellency, glorious, glory and a goodly honor. As majesty, re-emphasize the Lord's honor upon you.

The Power of Spiritual Wisdom


One does not teeter on the fence of decision-making when they are called to transcend barriers. Their focus should not be swayed by the external forces compelling them to choose. Instead, serenity and the readiness to respond will manifest when their attention is devoted to the Word.

Exposition on the book of Ephesians


I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

Ephesians 4:1


  • Understand your calling, and paths will emerge for you to heed and pursue it. Act in a manner that honors your vocation. Remember, it wasn’t by your will power that you entered this calling; you were summoned to serve the Lord.

  • In fulfilling this role, proceed with modesty and without arrogance. Maintain faith even in matters beyond your current understanding, trusting that comprehension will come in time.


With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.

Beyond Self-Help: Trust in the Lord

One thing that is always present with you is your awareness. Where there is awareness, may you use the right discernment. Knowing where I am is not where I want to be in my life. Considering it is our actions, and our will, which at times usually placed us in such a place. Even then, let your desire be, ‘Lord, help me, hear me.’ When we know the danger of our situation, the honest is our prayer.


To this we pray. In like manner we say:


Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit fails: hide not Thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

Psalm 143:7


Self-help falls short. Embrace self-awareness to understand your situation. Yet, look beyond your condition and will. Trust in the Lord, acknowledging your limitations, and open yourself to divine guidance, support,…
