There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. But, he did have an old shotgun and three bullets, so . . .
he decided that he would go out and kill something for dinner.
As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit, and he shot at the rabbit, but he missed it. then he saw a squirrel, and fired a shot at the squirred, but again he missed it.
As he went further down the road, he saw a wild turkey in the tree and he had only one bullet. A voice came to him and said, "Pray first, aim high, and stay focused."
However, at the same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill, bringing more food for his family. He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But . . . then he saw a rattlesnake between his legs about to bite him . . . so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattlesnake. However, the voice again said to him, "I said, Pray, aim high, and stay focused."
As a result, the man decided to listen to the voice. He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey. the bullet bounced off the turkey, and killed the deer. The handle fell off the gun, hit the snake in the head and killed it. And,
when the gun went off, it had knocked him into a pond. As he stood up to look around, he discovered that he had fish in all of
his pockets, a dead deer, and a turkey to eat. Plus the snake (Satan) was dead simply because he had listened to what God
was telling him.
Moral of the Story:
Pray first before you do anything, aim and shoot high in your goals, and stay focused on the Lord. Never let others discourage you concerning your past. the past is exactly that . . . "the past". Live every day one day at a time, and remember that only God knows our future and that he will not put you through any more than you can bear. Do not look to man for your blessings . . . but look to the doors that only He has prepared in advance for you, in your favor. Wait, be still, and patient! Keep God first and everything else will follow.
AMEN!!!!
Love it, love it, love it! :)
