The Three Bullets!

Subject: STORY - THE THREE BULLETS
From: "Christine Ng" 


The forgiveness of sin is not merely the beginning but the foundation and mother  
to all blessings. 
  
             
                      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.
                        Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there!!!
