Bible Study Verse
Matthew 6:25
"Therefore I tell you, do
not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will
drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than
food, and the body more than clothing? (ESV)
Thoughts
Too many times when we
get involved in an outdoor activity we feel the need to have the latest
accessories, clothing and top-notch equipment. Somehow we convince
ourselves that we must have this particular item or gadget in order to
be successful.
I've shot deer in casual
dress and I've fished with hotdogs and even pulled in a few whoppers.
I've also done both with all of the gear of the professionals.
Which times were most rewarding?
(Michael T)
Action Point
Hunting,
fishing, and outdoor activities are not about the gear or fancy
equipment. It's about the hunt and it's about the time spent with your
fishing partner or your group of friends.
God wants our daily lives to be about the heart. It is not about the "bling" or other earthly fads that quickly fade away. He wants us to put our faith and trust in Him. He takes care of the birds and the flowers, how much more does He care about us? He will provide, protect and sustain.
He
knows that LIFE is more than the things of this world; He just wants us
to know it too. Be smart with your money and time, your family will
love you for it.
Sportsmen's Tip of The Day
Just
for fun, the next time you have a big hunt or fishing expedition go
simple. Be creative and have some fun with it. Who knows, you may even
stumble onto the next "must have secret."
