What do dogs desire? They desire a lot of things. They desire things like food and water. If they had more power to think and to choose, they would've used that power to get the things that they desired immediately. Most teachers today unfortunately are teaching us to act that way. They're teaching us to be selfish. Most teachers believe we are "intellectual animals" that have evolved from primates, apes. After listening to these teachings, I feel that they are teaching us to be like animals, like dogs. Since we have the power to think and to choose, they teach us to think about the economics for MANKIND, telling us to think of ALL the possible benefits we can achieve if we did something THIS way or THAT way. They tell us we are naturally prone to use our power to think and choose to fulfill OUR desires and needs, but for nothing else. Certainly not for God.
My friends, don't be like dogs, that desire the things of this world, that would do anything to get what they want. We need to understand that we are living for God, our heavenly Father. Do not live for yourself. Deny yourself. Don't be like animals, otherwise you'll be slaughtered like animals.
