Bible Study Verse
Matthew 25:5
Now while bridegroom
was
delaying,
they all got drowsy and began to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
The thing that really got me hooked on trout
fishing
was our traditional opening day of trout
season in
Pennsylvania. As kids, we got more
excited about
that than opening gifts on Christmas
morning! We
would scout the best holes several days
prior to the
opening, and the excitement just began to
mushroom. This was not a day to sleep in.
We would usually be up by 3 a.m. on the
big day, getting our last minute things
together for that dark ride over the
mountain. At 5 a.m., we would be lined up
elbow-to-elbow by our favorite fishing hole
in Huntsdale, PA., with our hip boots
standing up to our thighs in the
stream. A shotgun would ring out and all
the lines would go in at once; and
immediately, the trout
would explode out of the water all over the
place!
There is an even
bigger event to look forward to than the
opening day of
trout season. It is when Jesus comes to
get His Bride, the Church. Many of us
might be a little
drowsy as we were at 3 a.m. before
opening day; but if
our hearts are right, the excitement will be
indescribable as we see our Savior's
beautiful face! (TH)
Action Point
Don't sleep in. Get up early each day to
seek His
face through His living Word.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
When you have a big event as we used to
have in PA., pack as much stuff as
possible in your car the night
before. We broke more than one fly rod
trying to get out
the screen door of our cabin with our arms
full during
those very early hours (being half asleep).
