You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks....Or Can You?

Anyone who owns a dachshund can tell you they are stubborn and difficult to train. However, they are also very bright, affectionate, loyal companions, and... highly food motivated! They love to be rewarded for good behavior! Just like people though, they can get set in their ways and training is an ongoing process. Sometimes the training methods have to be changed. They get bored very easily.

We as people can get very set in our own ways. We do it physically, emotionally and spiritually. We get bored and to be honest we can get lazy. Then the Lord may have to change up some different situations and allow us to go through different kinds of trials. But we should not be discouraged. Today is a new day with new lessons and new mercies!

We can only grow in the Lord if we pray and take in the Word. We must rely on the Holy Spirit to continually feed us and fuel us. But consider how much He wants to reward us! He loves us! Oh how He loves us!

Lamintations 3:22-23  Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning;  Great is Your faithfulness.

James 1:2-3

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
