Bible Study Verse

Colossians 1:16b
. . . ll things have
been
created
through Him and for Him. (NASB)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Thoughts

As a young man in college, I was
interested in what
made a trout hatchery tick. For one of my
classes, I
interviewed a man who owned and
operated a private
trout hatchery in northern Pennsylvania. It
was an
interesting time; but one thing I took away
my visit was
that these fish were created for one
reason--to be caught and released and
ultimately to be
in a frying pan somewhere.


What is our ultimate purpose for
being created? Is it to
glorify humanity and to set ourselves up as
self-proclaimed gods? Or is it all about
Jesus and
realizing that, apart from Him, we wouldn't
be here? (TH)

Action Point

Take time to read all of Colossians 1:16.
Reflect on
the fact that nothing ticks without Jesus.
Praise Him
for His ingenious creative abilities!

Sportsmen's Tip of the
Day

It's a good thing that many people are
using the catch
and release policy when fishing so that
fisheries don't
become cleaned out for the next guy. I
would suggest
that you should keep some fish for the
frying pan for
your eating pleasure. This is especially
true if the fish
is injured in anyway and may not survive.
