Sights


It’s opening day of gun season for deer here in Alabama. What am I doing here sitting at the computer this morning instead of out in the woods? Well let me tell you, it’s simple I haven’t sighted my rifle in yet. I have been so crazy busy I simply forgot to. I remembered it yesterday and tried to make it home before dark to go and do it but I didn’t make it. I was tempted to go anyway, but what if the scope had been bumped what if it was off and I fired a shot and missed, I’d be laughed at by all my buddies. What if it was off and I made a bad shot and just wounded the deer real bad and did kill it. It was a chance I just couldn’t take. Maybe I’ll get it sighted in the next day or two and then I can get in the woods. As I was thinking about this, I couldn’t help but think about me as a Christian how I have to keep my sights set on the King. I really don’t think a lot about my sights getting bumped and maybe just being off a little or even worse a lot. It could happen though, I could let small sins creep in, start entertaining certain thoughts, jealousy, anger etc. there are so many ways we can get bumped and not even realize it. That is why it is so important to pray and talk with our father daily to get into his word daily to ensure our sights haven’t been bumped!


1 Corinthians 15:58, Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.


1 Peter 1:13-16, Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."


2 Corinthians 4:16-18, therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.


1 Thessalonians 5 16-18, Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Prayers


I’m requesting your prayers for the Frog Comm ministry. I’m really having time management issues with it. I know that this is a ministry that God has for me. It just seems that I have so much going on with my new job (had some more work added to it), with my family, with my church. I’m really sensing a need to realign some things so I can focus more on the Frog Comm ministry. Please pray for me to make the right decisions on where slow down and to manage my time better with it.

Thanks,
Barry
