Today's Photograph . . . . There Are Hazards (Janet B) |
II Peter 1:10-11
Because of this, brethren, be all the more solicitous and eager to make sure (to ratify, to strengthen, to make steadfast) your calling and election; for if you do this, you will never stumble or fall. Thus there will be richly and abundantly provided for you entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (Amplified Bible)
Thoughts
Winter wade fishing for trophy sea trout and redfish is a great passion of mine. It is a stealthy and exciting way to fish.
However, there are hazards. Shoreline bottoms are intermittingly made up of soft muddy spots, rocks, shallow holes, and reefs of various sizes. I have not fallen, although I have come close. Tripping in the cold winter water, and thus, ruining my trip is always a concern for me. Cognizant of the perils of each move, I carefully step over rocks and avoid soft muddy areas.

Action Point
Giving one's life to Christ does not take away the hazards of life. But, if you are steadfast, the Holy Spirit will guide you and help you side step the many rocks and soft spots that will be in your path.
It is distinctly possible that there are places and/or people in your life that may cause you to stumble. If so, consider Paul's charge, "But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness, " I Timothy 6:11 (NIV).
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
Saltwater will wreak havoc on equipment. After each trip, take time to clean not only your rod and reels, but also your lures. Hooks will rust quickly.
