Bible Study Verse
1 John 5:4
For whatever is born of God overcomes
the
world. And this is the victory that has
overcome the world--our faith. (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
Our faith in something grows stronger
when
we use and maintain that something in
which trust.
For
example, when I am hunting, I have a
stronger
faith
in my rifle or bow and in my ability to use it
effectively if I practice with it, keep it clean
and maintain it. If I just take it out of the
closet, blow the dust off and go, I probably
won't have much faith that I am going to
have
a successful hunt.
This same
principle applies to our
faith in God. If we don't maintain and
practice our faith by reading the Word,
keeping a strong prayer life, and then
obeying
what He has revealed to us in prayer; we
will
fail at overcoming the trials of the world
because our faith is weak.
Action Point
Make it a habit to take time each day to
be in the Word and in prayer with the Lord.
We can pray when we're driving to work or
taking
a walk. God will
bless us for our diligence and
commitment to Him in these things. He
promises us that. Our faith in Him will be
stronger as we trust Him more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sportsmen's Tip of the
Day
Part of making plans for an upcoming hunt
should include maintaining your weapon.
Check it for loose parts, keep it clean and
make sure it shoots straight. A good way
to
prevent screws from coming loose on a
bow
is to coat the threads with Threadlocker or
Locktight from the blue bottle.
