I WONDER if Noah ever realized the importance of all the animals in the ark. I’m sure he was thankful to God for preserving his family from the flood, I remember a little boy who had a dog named Skippy. Skippy was used in the saving of his master’s life. How he loved that little boy! They were together from morning to night. If the little boy got tired, Skippy would lie down and let his master use him as a pillow. They had so much fun together on the farm!
One day the boy’s mother heard Skippy barking and carrying on so. He was running up and down the path to the spring, barking as loud as he could. Mother stepped outside to see what all the commotion was about. She heard a muffled yell and ran as quickly as she could to the spring. There she saw her little boy was stuck with his head in the water. She grabbed his little legs and pulled him out. He was all right.
Skippy was the hero that day and more so now because his little master is grown up and now trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour. God saw how Skippy would be needed to save this little boy from drowning, but above this He saw the need of that boy’s soul. He sent His Son to die that his sins might be forgiven and that he might live forever with Him in heaven. Will you meet Skippy’s master in heaven?
