Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (NIV)
Thoughts
Even the wild creatures will kneel before Jesus and give him glory, honor, and fame. The day is coming soon when the above verses will be a reality. Christ will be revealed as the ruler of heaven and earth.

Action Point
Submission. This word is often abused, refused, and rejected. It seems no one wishes to submit. That attitude is true in the schools, the work place, and even in our homes.
Protests are made. "Sit in's" are staged. "Occupy" movements abound. Protestors worldwide are in the streets throwing bottles, cans, bricks, and even flaming "Molotov Cocktails" to burn down buildings, destroy vehicles, and wreak mayhem to prove their particular point.
But, submission is a necessary part of life and living. If everyone is in charge, no one is in charge. The result is chaos.
We are instructed to obey the law and to honor those in authority. We must obey the orders of law enforcement officers, game wardens, conservation officers, and park rangers for conscience sake. We must do this because we are commanded so in the Word. Read Romans 13:1-7.
There is coming a day when Jesus will clearly be revealed, and His rule will be absolute. The result of His rule will be a time of peace and prosperity the world had never seen.
It is better to submit to Him now. Fall on your knees. Believe in Him as Savior and Lord, and follow Him in this life as well as eternity. Receive His forgiveness of sin and become His follower. You will be rewarded for all eternity!!!
Sportsman's Tip of the Day
Respect those in law enforcement. Obey the laws. Do all you can to set a good example for others in these matters. Make sure you have the proper licenses and permits. Secure permission from property owners.
