There once was 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 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 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
rattlesnake at his feet, about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun
down further to shoot the rattlesnake. Still, the voice said again
to
him, "I said, pray, aim high and stay focused." So, the man
decided to listen to the voice. He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the
tree and shot the wild turkey as it flew away. 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 had gone off, it knocked him into a
pond. When he stood to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a
dead deer and a turkey to eat. The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the
man listened to God.
The lesson for today: Pray
first, before you do anything, aim and shoot high for your goals, and stay
focused on God.
