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.
Always follow GOD'S words, if he
leads you to a cliff and says jump. You jump, HE will either catch
you or teach you to fly.
