Faith Like a Dog

What is faith? What does true faith look like? Many people profess to have faith in God. It's true that faith comes much easier to some people than it does for others. But what does genuine faith truly look like? The Bible tells us that faith means putting our full confidence in the things we hope for, it means being certain of things we cannot see. Is that even possible?
That's the kind of faith God wants us to have in Him. He wants us to trust our entire existence to Him. Every need, every want, every desire, He wants us to trust that He will provide for us. He doesn't say He will give us whatever we ask for; He says He will provide for our needs and look after those who trust in Him.
Can we really trust God for our every need? It's hard to imagine what that type of faith might look like to most of us, but many of us have perfect examples of that type of faith living in our homes--our pets, more specifically our dogs!
Obviously, our children rely on us to provide for them, but as they grow, they become less dependent on us as parents. Dogs, however, are completely dependent on us from the time we bring them home to the day they die...they count on us to provide for their every need.
They must have complete faith in us to provide for them no matter what they need from food to hygiene to companionship and love; they have--must have--complete faith and trust that we will provide for them, that we won't let them down. That's the kind of faith God wants us to have in Him.
Isn't that what true faith looks like? If we claim to be believers, isn't that what our faith in God should look like? Shouldn't we have complete faith that God will meet our every need no matter how big or how small? Faith that demonstrates an unwavering trust that God will never let us down...shouldn't we have faith like a dog?
