There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old rifle and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out hunting and kill some wild animals 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 fired ashot at the squirrel and missed it. The squirrel disappeared into a hole in a cotton wood tree.
As he went further, he saw a largewild turkey up in a tree, but he had only one bullet remaining. A voice spoke to him and said, “Prayfirst, aim high and stay focused.”
However, at the same time, he saw a deer which would provide more meat than the turkey. He brought the gun down and aimedat the deer. But, then he saw a rattle snake between his legs about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattle snake.
Still, the voice again said to him, “Prayfirst, 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 went into the turkey, deflected off a bone and hit the deer, killing it. When the gun fired,it knocked the man off balance, he stepped on the rattle snake’ s head which killed it and fell backwards into a pond.
When he stood up to look around,he had fish in all his pockets, a deer and a turkey with which to feed his family. The snake was dead simply because the man listened to God.
Moral of the story:- Keep God first andeverything else will follow.
Pray first before you do anything. Aimhigh in your goals, and stay focused on God. Never let people or things discourage you concerning your past. Do not look to man for your blessings, but look only to God.
