Bible Study Verse
Daniel 5:5-6
At that moment the fingers of
a man's
hand appeared and began writing on the
plaster of the
king's palace wall next to the lampstand.
As
the king
watched the hand that was writing, his face
turned
pale, and his thoughts so terrified him that
his hip
joints shook and his knees knocked
together. (HCSB)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
I remember the feeling I had the first time I
hunted
deer and saw a buck. I was so overcome
with a rush
of adrenaline, that it took me several
moments to pull
myself together enough to make a shot.
I still get that feeling sometimes, if it's a
really big buck! I've known people so
overcome with this feeling that they
couldn't make the shot.
Like King
Belshazzar in the
verses above, the adrenaline takes over.
In his case, it was due to the fear of God.
The
king knew he had betrayed God, and that
he would soon
die. The body physiologically responds to
fear and
excitement in a similar way; and at times,
is totally
uncontrollable. (JS)
Action Point
Hopefully, the next time we feel that rush of
excitement when we are looking at a huge
trophy animal in the woods, we will
remember this verse and the
overwhelming power of God.
Perhaps that rush will come as we lead
someone
to Christ and they have just asked Him into
their
heart. That's truly exciting!

Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
Make sure you have a good rest before
taking a shot,
especially if you have that feeling of
uncontrollable
shakes rushing through your body. There
are several
bipods available to purchase for your rifle.
These would serve
as a great rest, and can also get your
sights above the
bushes if needed.
