Rolling Around in Filth
There’s something in a dog’s brain that makes them want to stink. I’ve written about this fact before, about Washing Your Dog, but there’s something I find interesting about the process where they are walking, find something on the ground, and are inclined to rub themselves upon it. Most of the time, whatever it is isn’t a good smell, and it seems as if the dog can’t control themselves.
The have to.
I looked it up, and it turns out that a dog’s brain is mainly comprised of sense of smell, and rubbing in garbage and dead animals defines them. Which is interesting to me. In my other article, I was looking at this as a bad thing. Saying that we should be washed and “smell” like God, and not ourselves.
But now I’m wondering how awesome it would be if we had this same sort of reaction to God that dogs have to a dead animal carcass. Instead of continuing to walk along like nothing’s wrong, like God isn’t working, we saw it, smelled it, and had to roll around in Him.
What kind of lives would we lead if every time we saw God working, we had to join in? If our brains were concerned more with having the scent of God on us, than what we had set out to do that day? What do you think you’d be involved in?
I can't wait to roll around in poo so I can be closer to God! Haha. I like this point of view. Wonderful insight
