Today's Photograph . . . . It's Usually My Hunting or Fishing Stories (Jimmy S) |
Luke 21:10-13
Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake. But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. (NKJV)Thoughts
Everyone likes to tell war stories about some kind of event that happened to them after a weekend of fun. For me, it's usually my hunting and fishing stories.
But as this verse states, some day the persecution we Christians endure will be our greatest war story. As the Apostle Paul said, . . . My chains are in Christ.

Action Point
Remember: when you are persecuted for your Christianity, it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony some day; so be glad in it. Be encouraged when under fire!!!
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
Cover scents are a great invention. But if you use the wind in your favor when stalking game, you'll have more success than any amount of cover scent could ever give you. You'll save money too!
