The Rabbit

“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou wilt revive me: Thou shalt stretch forth Thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand shall save me” (Psalm 138:7).

The other day I was in our yard playing with the dogs. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a little rabbit. I whispered to myself please God let it be on the outside of the fence. It wasn’t. When the dogs spotted it they ran for it. I yelled at them and after a very tiring chase and handing the rabbit back and forth, the dogs knew I was very upset with them. The lab dropped it to the ground. The little rabbit was give out, unhurt, but lying still on the ground. Carefully I reached down and picked up the poor little bunny by the nap of the neck. It did not move. I talked softly to it and as much as humans can, reassured the helpless little thing. I took it to the fence and dropped it on the other side in a tuft of grass. I leaned over and talked sweetly to the little rabbit and it looked back at me, wiggled its nose and took off. I thanked the Lord and suddenly this thought gripped my heart. How many times in my life has the Lord reached down and picked me up and placed me in safety? I am so thankful for an ever watching Father who is always there for me and reaching down with His loving hand, placing me into safety.
