KNOWING THE MASTER

Isaiah 1:3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
Sometimes we forget Who we belong to and who cares for us.
There was a band of theives that had been raiding villages and killing and stealing from the people. Soldiers had learned of a planned raid on one particular village and they were waiting when the bandits came. They surprised the theives and killed some of them and chased the rest of them off. They had tried many times in vain to find where their hideout was but the captain of the soldiers knew his Bible and from it he devised a plan.
They had captured the horses of the theives that had been killed and they kept them up for several days without feed. When they released them they lead the soldiers straight to their masters hideout because they were hungry and were looking in their usual place for feed.
If even the animals know who it is that provides for them shouldn't we acknowledge God as our Lord and return to Him for the spiritual nourishment we need for our souls?
