A lesson from rabbits

We have some small rabbits living near us, and one of them comes into our tiny yard and hangs out for awhile nearly every day.

No, we don't have a vegetable garden to attract them. You might describe our garden as rock minimalist. Perhaps three or four plants--not counting flowering weeds--surrounded by decorative rocks, provided by our builder for the least amount of upkeep.

What we offer is shelter. We're one of the few families in the neighborhood without a dog, and the rabbits discovered they can come in and hide, sun themselves on our rocks, and hang out in safety for hours at a time without anyone disturbing them.

My heart melts when I look out the window and see one or two of them, trusting in the protection of our yard. It gives me a tiny sense of what God must feel when I trust him with my cares. He has surrounded me with his unfailing protection, his love, and his faithful promises. He has shown himself worthy of my trust again and again.

Can I be as smart as a rabbit and run for Shelter?

What's more, I AM with you, and will protect you wherever you go.
Genesis 28:15
The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1
