AIM HIGH
There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old
shotgun and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go
out and kill
something for dinner.
As
he went down the road, he saw a rabbit and he shot at the rabbit and
missed it.
Then
he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it.
As
he went further, he saw a wild turkey in the tree and he had only
one bullet, but a voice came to him and said "pray first, aim high and
stay focused."
However, at the same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill. He
brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattle
snake between his
legs about to bite him. He naturally brought the gun down further to shoot
the rattle snake.
Still, the voice said again to him, "I said 'pray, aim high and stay
focused."
So, the man decided to listen to the voice. He prayed, then aimed the
gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey.
The bullet bounced off the turkey and killed the deer. The handle fell off
the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it. And, when the gun had
gone off, it knocked him into a pond.
When he stood to look around, he had fish in all
his pockets, a dead deer and turkey to eat. The snake (Satan) was dead
simply because the man listened to God.
Bottom line:
Pray first before you do anything, aim and shoot high in your goals, and stay
focused on God!
