My friend’s cat strolled up
to the dining room table while we were visiting. Shaking a verbal finger to the
cat Cathy said, “I recognize that look. Don’t you even think about jumping up
on this table.” As though the gauntlet had been thrown down the cat jumped up
on the table between us, flipped its tail and nonchalantly walked the length of
the table before hopping off to the floor. There was no pretense of being
sneaky, this cat was displaying in-your-face disobedience. Obviously the cat
did not fear her master. It occurs to me that sometimes people of faith display
a similar a characteristic when we fail to fear the Lord. "My flesh trembles in fear of you; I stand in fear of your laws" (Psalms 119:120 NIV).
