There once was a man, who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old riffle and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out hunting and kill some wild game for dinner. As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit. He shot at the rabbit and missed it. The rabbit ran away. Then he saw a squirrel and fire a shot at the squirrel and missed it. The squirrel disappeared into a h*** in a cottonwood tree. As he went further, he saw a large wild ‘Tom’ turkey in the tree, but he had only one bullet remaining. A voice spoke to him and said ‘Pray first, aim high and stay focused.’

However, at the same time, he saw deer which was a better kill. He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattlesnake between his legs about to bit him, so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattlesnake.. Still, the voice said again to him, “I said, Pray, Aim high and Stay focused.’ So, the man decided to listen to God’s voice. He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey. The bullet bounced off the turkey and killed the deer. The handle fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it. And, when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond. When he stood up look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer and a turkey to eat for his family. The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God.


Moral of the story:

Pray first before you do anything aim and shoot high in your goals, and stay focused on God. Never let others discourage you concerning your past. The past is exactly that, ‘the past.’ Live every day one day at a time and remember that only God know our future and that he will not! Put you through any more than you can bear. Do not look to man for your blessings, but look to the doors that only He prepared in advance for you in you favour.

Wait, be still and patient: keep God first and everything else will follow. Pass this on in order that someone else might be blessed.

Don’t worry about tomorrow, God is already there!!!
