Archibald Rutledge tells about a man who worked in one of the great forests of the South. His faithful dog burned to death in a great fire that had swept through the forest.
Rutledge said the little dog had been left under a tree to guard
his master’s dinner pail and wouldn’t leave it even when the flames roared
around him. The worker was brokenhearted when he found the charred remains of
his little friend.
With tears streaming down his face, he said: “I always had
to be careful what I told him to do, because I knew he would do it.”
This and more, is the kind of obedience to which Christ has
called us.

Isa 1:3 (TLB): “Even the animals - the donkey and the ox -
know their owner and appreciate his care for them, but not my people Israel. No
matter what I do for them, they still don’t care.”
“Your faith level is determined by your obedience level.” -
Jack Hyles.
