Ever watch a cat?  It lays around all day, occasionally moving from one sofa to a bed, or recliner.  A loud cry comes from a cat when it is hunger, the litter box needs changed, or it wants attention.  The cat’s life philosophy is serve me!  Pay attention to me!!

Now consider a dog for a moment.  When the master approaches, the tail is in full wag, and sometimes its whole rear end moves.  A dog jumps for joy when it receives attention.  A lick displays it gratitude and a bark its excitement.  Where ever the master goes, the dog is close by.  When the master leaves, a dog howls its disapproval.

Two different animals, two different personalities; one animal wants to be served, while the other just wants to be with the master.

It is true for humans.  Many want to be served, while few want just to be with the master. 

“How lovely is your dwelling place,

O Lord Almighty!

My soul yearns even faints for the courts of the Lord.”

Psalm 84: 1, 2
