I opened the sliding glass
door and out he went past the patio to take a leak (the dog, that is). The next
thing I know, I hear a yelp and Spike’s limping back into the house. He must
have gotten his foot caught in one of the loops of the new vine I planted. I
figured he might have just pulled it a little and was being extra cautious. He
was favoring the foot, and still limping, but it didn’t seem too bad. But the
next day it took a turn.
In the morning Spike couldn’t
put any pressure on it at all and I had to lift his 35 pounds of cuteness to
take him anywhere, including outside to do his business. Jane and I got
together and prayed for him. As I prayed, I realized that I couldn’t pray for
Holy Spirit in him to work on the healing from the inside out. He’s a dog. Dogs
don’t have Holy Spirit inside. But in the next instant it came to me that God
created dogs. If it was something really serious, God could even provide a
miracle of healing and create a part. But God also created animals’ bodies
having the capacity to heal just like our bodies were given that capacity, with
white blood cells, etc. So what was I going to pray for?
I got the revelation to pray
and believe that his healing process would speed up, and I had a scripture to
back it up: “I the Lord will hasten it in his time” (Is 60:22). What a great
promise! I’ve put my faith out by revelation on this speeding up process many
times with super results. This was one of those times and I thank our God for
it.
By the afternoon, Spike could
put pressure on the leg and the next morning he was bouncing down the hallway
once again. Even if it was only sprained, normally it would have taken longer
to totally heal, but the Lord speeded up the process just like He inspired me
to pray for.
Luke 12:6 says God doesn’t
even forget about one sparrow, “Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten
before God?” Psalm 104:14 says, “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle” and there’s lots of
scriptures telling us He feeds and takes care of the wild animals too. We can
be assured that the Lord cares about our pets.
