Pray First, Aim High & Stay
Focused
There was
once a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old
shotgun and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out and
kill something to eat for dinner.
As he
went down the road, he saw a rabbit and he shot at the rabbit and
missed it. Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel
and missed it. As he went further, he saw a wild turkey in the tree
and he had only one bullet,
but 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. He brought
the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattle snake
between his legs about to bite him so he naturally brought the gun
down further to shoot the rattle snake.
Still,
the voice said again to him, "I said 'pray first, aim high and stay
focused."'
So, the
man decided to follow 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 and hit the snake in the head and killed
it. And, when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond of
water.
When he
got up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer
and turkey to eat.
The snake
(e.g. Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God: pray
first, aim high and stay focused.
Bottom
line: Pray first before you do anything, aim and shoot high in your
goals, and stay focused on God.
~ Faith
is not the absence of doubt, but a step taken in spite of
doubt.
~ A faith
that hasn't been tested, can't be trusted.
~ Faith
is daring the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see.

1 Corinthians 13
Love
1 If I
speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am
only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I
have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all
knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have
not love, I am nothing.
3 If I
give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,
but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love
is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud.
5 It
is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
8 Love
never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where
there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge,
it will pass away.
9 For
we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 but
when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
11 When I was a child, I talked
like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When
I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
12 Now
we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face
to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am
fully known.
13 And
now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love.
