Bible Study Verse
1 Timothy 6:17
Command those who
are
rich in this
present world not to be arrogant nor to put
their hope
in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put
their hope
in God, who richly provides us with
everything for our
enjoyment. (NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
Does God care that we have things to
enjoy? Will He
answer specific and personal requests?
He can and
He will! Because He is good, He gives us
good things
to experience. A good bird dog adds
greatly to the upland hunting
experience. I asked God for a bird dog,
with a
particular color phase of German Shorthair
Pointer in
mind. God gave me Regal! My daughter
adopted him
from a pound. Regal was always hunting
and pointing
birds in her yard. They wanted him to be
able to hunt; so she and my grandson
gave Regal to
me, fulfilling
my prayer for a bird dog perfectly. And
what a gift he
was! I asked for a bird dog, and my
Heavenly Father
gave me Regal so that I might enjoy him
and
pheasant hunting even more! (JM)
Action Point
Give thanks to God for all things.
Especially thank
Him for the hunting experience. Thank Him
for
friends, equipment, places to hunt,
the dogs,
and the game itself.
" . . . [t]he
gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans
6:23
If God is your
Heavenly Father
through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, He
will give you
things to enjoy. Be sure to ask
Him! He can and will answer prayers
specifically and
personally. He will give these things
because He
loves you!
"Every
good and
perfect gift is from above, coming down
from the Father . . .." James 1:17a
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
Take photos of the hunt and of the game
harvested.
Take time to appreciate the beauty of
these wild
animals--a rooster pheasant, a majestic
whitetail
deer, a gloriously colored wood duck, a
bird dog
testing the wind for a quail--are all gifts of a
loving and
good God given for us to appreciate and in
which to
take pleasure.
