"THREE POUND CHIHUAHUA"

Numbers 12:28      (KJV)
"And the '"LORD opened the mouth of the ass", and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?"

Exodus 3:1-4         (KJV)
"1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the "LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush": and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I."

Throughout the Bible GOD has spoken to man in a variety of avenues.  From the jawbone of a donkey to a burning bush, HE has used all of creation to get HIS message across to man. Just recently HE spoke to me via my dog!

ROME is a four year old "puppy" that is, at times calm and docile, and at times between high-strung and uncontrollable!  He loves lay on our sofa looking across our front yard into the neighbors yard and watch what is transpiring.  Yesterday morning, I thought he was asleep, while laying on our sofa.  Suddenly he erupted into a ferocious barking frenzy that literally frightened me!  He was barking like there was someone trying to break into our home.

Upon investigating, I found a small chihuahua from the neighbors in our yard. Our dog is about 65lbs. and he was going ballistic over a three pound chihuahua. The fright that he caused me faded quickly and I began chastising ROME for "alarming" over a three pound chihuahua.  I did not get the chastising words out of my mouth good until GOD was telling me how I do the same thing.

All through Bible we are instructed to have FAITH IN GOD!  Yet, the moment I see a difficulty,  I start crying out to GOD to bail me out!  And GOD is always there telling me that everything is going to be okay, as long as I TRUST in HIM!  I see a threat, and HE sees a three pound chihuahua!

Heavenly FATHER, cause me to see that there is no difficulty too big for YOU, and no problem YOU have not already solved.  Help me to realize the giants I see on my horizon are only three pound chihuahua's in YOUR eyes!
