Dogs have a special way of revealing to us dimensions of the Kingdom of Heaven that are hard to comprehend otherwise. One of those heavenly qualities that dogs uniquely demonstrate to us is that of doggedness. The word “dogged” is very apropos for what dogs demonstrate. They don’t give up easily. They stand loyal in the darkest hour. They don’t measure their companionship based on the ease of the journey. And even when standing faithful would mean suffering, they stand steadfast by their master. It’s truly remarkable. But, the reason they demonstrate these astounding qualities is in order that we might be stirred by the Spirit of God to say, “Lord, make me dogged, just like that!”
