Watching

HOW many things we see in this interesting picture! The man has stopped playing his accordion, the woman standing up has stopped making the tea, and the women at the table have stopped talking—all to watch the kitten on the man's shoulder.
Kittens are very playful little creatures, and we all like to watch them.
But is there anyone else interested in kitty? Yes, the mother cat is watching very intently. She is not only interested, but also uneasy for fear her baby may fall and get hurt. So she is watching carefully, all ready to help the kitten, and even to fight for it, if it gets into trouble.
Does this remind you of a verse in God's Word?
"The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry." Psalm 34:1515The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. (Psalm 34:15).
Just as the mother cat has her eyes fixed on the kitten she loves, and is listening for any cry of fear or distress, so the Lord's eyes are fixed upon us, and His ear is always open to hear our cry, if we call upon Him for help.
"IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN THE LORD THAN TO PUT CONFIDENCE IN MAN." Psalm 118:88It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. (Psalm 118:8).
