Three Bullets
There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat.
He had an old rifle and three bullets.. So, he decided that he would go out
hunting and kill some wild game for dinner.. As he went down the road, he saw a
rabbit. He shot at the rabbit and missed it.
The rabbit ran away. Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot
at the squirrel and missed it.
The squirrel disappeared into a hole in a cottonwood tree..
As he went further, he saw a large wild 'Tom' turkey in the
tree, but he had only one bullet remaining.
A voice spoke 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 rattlesnake between his legs about to bite him,
so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattlesnake. Still,
the voice said again to him, 'I said 'Pray, Aim high and Stay focused..'
So, the man decided to listen to God's 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 up to look
around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer and a turkey to eat for his
family.
The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the man listened
to God.
Moral of the story:
Pray first before you do anything, aim and shoot high in
your goals, and stay focused on God.
Never let others discourage you concerning your past. The past is
exactly that, 'the past.' Live every day
one day at a time and remember that only God knows our future and that he will
not put you through any more than you
can bear.
Do not look to man for your blessings, but look to the doors
that only He has prepared in advance for you in your favor.
Wait, be still and patient: keep God first and everything
else will follow.
Pass this on in order that someone else might be
blessed..
FROM ONE FRIEND TO ANOTHER
Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there!!!
