On Thursday morning
my cat had a case of what we call “The Maddies”
He runs crazily around the house, jumping on and off furniture and
dashing from one end of the house to the other.
He jumped at the base of the curtains, kicking them up and then proceeded
to meow loudly at the poor confused dog.
He then rushed into the bathroom, jumped into the bathtub (which was thankfully
empty at the time) and threw himself around the porcelain. We think the reason the cat was going crazy
was because of the wind. Either that or
one of our neighbours is growing catnip.
Hehehe
Whenever I look at the trees blowing, I remember the verse
in Isaiah 55:12 that says the trees clap their hands as part of their praise to
God.
And then I am reminded me of the time when Jesus was riding
into Jerusalem on a donkey. The
disciples were cheering and praising God loudly and when some Pharisees
suggested to him that he quieten the crowd, Jesus replied “If they are quiet,
even the stones will cry out!”
This got me thinking, Jesus said that the most important
command was to love God with everything that is within us… I love how The Message puts it: “Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle
and intelligence.”
I reckon that if an inanimate object such
as a tree or a stone can praise God with unbridled passion, then I can do no
less. Don’t you agree?
