God Will Provide...
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 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, so 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
a 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. Pass this on in order that
someone else might be blessed. 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 Lord.
He can open doors for you that only He is able to do. Doors that you
will not slip through but doors that only He has prepared in advance
for you in your favor.
Wait, and be still, patient:
keep God first and everything else will follow.

P.S.
When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say,
"Jesus, could you please get that for me?"
