"Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!" (Luke 12:24, NASB).
Consider the canine of the couch,
How he sleeps:
Stretched out under the wing of the girl he loves,
Head pillowed on her belly,
Does he fret or worry
Over his next meal,
Next walk,
Next vaccine?
Feel the rhythm of his sleeping breath
As he leans in.
For him there is no next,
Only now;
And now is good.
Consider him:
Lean into your Master,
Your Father,
Your rest.
He knows the now and the next.
Fret not.
