Today's Photograph . . . . Then How Much More Should We Take Care Of The Environment That We Hunt and Fish In (MQ) |
Bible Study Verse
Geneses 1:20
Then God said,
"Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let
birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the
heavens." (NKJV)
Thoughts
I really don't think it could get any better than this! Sitting out
on the lake in my float tube with trout frantically feeding all around
me!!
This was something I had heard about from others, but had never
experienced until we packed into the Wind River mountains out of
DuBois, Wyoming to some high untouched mountain lakes.
We
were literally catching a nice fat brook trout with every cast of our
fly and I had to be coaxed into shore by my buddies when it was just
getting too dark to see anymore.
The best part was, we got to repeat this scenario every evening for 3 days!!! Now I can't wait to go back again next year!!!!

Action Point
When you read the creation account in Genesis, read the words carefully:
- First, notice that God effortlessly brought about the creation, He spoke it into existence.
- Second, notice that each time God saw that it was good.
- Third, those good things are created for our use, both mankind and the animals.
In
verse 28 God give mankind dominion over the good things he has created.
All that He created was for His pleasure and Glory, and for the use of
man and animal.
Dominion means we rule over His creation, He
entrusted it to us for our use. If we take good care of our hunting and
fishing equipment, then how much more should we take care of the
environment that we hunt and fish in?
Leave no mark on
the land when you are out. Let the next person who follows in your
footsteps, think he is the first to tread there. It takes less effort to
carry out our trash than it did to carry it in.
