Bible Study Verse
Numbers 10:31-32
"Please don't
leave us,"
Moses
said, [to Hobab] "since you know where we
should
camp in the wilderness, and you can serve
as our
eyes. If you come with us, whatever good
the
Lord
does for us we will do for you." (HCSB)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
I was taking a group of students through a
simulated
hunt that we had set up for a hunter
education class.
We would frequently stop and talk about
proper gun carrying techniques, shoot-
don't-shoot scenarios, and
game and sign identification. I noticed
that one young
girl was staying in the back near her dad,
hesitant to participate. Trying to encourage
her
participation, I told her that her stealth-like
quietness
and patience must be a real asset when
she and her
dad go hunting. Her face lit up with just a
little praise;
and she quickly began to share some of
her past
outdoor experiences. (BM)
Action Point
As Moses led the Israelites to the
Promised Land, he
asked Hobab to go with them on their
journey. Initially,
Hobab said no; but after Moses
complimented
Hobab's wilderness skills, he agreed to
go.
Compliments and encouragement can go
a long way in building a person's
self-esteem, make them feel
good about themselves and about you. An
attitude of consistent encouragement is
one way we can show
Christ's love to others. Try encouraging
your spouse,
kids, boss and co-workers and see how
good you will
begin to feel, and how your relationships
will be strengthened.

Sportsmen's Tip of the
Day
Being a young and inexperienced
sportsman can be
discouraging. Mistakes are frequent, and
success rare. Take time to encourage new
sportsmen; share your experiences,
knowledge and
time.
