Outdoor Truths: Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ July 25th
Gary Miller ~ outdoortruths.org
Some will say that God gives the weather so therefore we should not complain when we get certain conditions. I would say that answer is only partially true. I think there are a couple of other areas where we can safely cast blame; one is ourselves and the other is our ancestors. Concerning ourselves, there are some people who love living next to the river. In fact, I would love to have a small lot on the river. But I would need to understand that lots of rain causes rivers to rise. It’s just mathematics – not God. And if I build my little cabin without giving this much thought, it will eventually flood. And while I may shake my head at God asking why, He will probably be shaking His head at me asking the same thing. And what about our ancestors? My greatest granddaddy was a man by the name of Adam. He and his wife Eve were seduced by a fallen angel called Lucifer. And the results of that seduction was the fallen world that we live in. It is the results of sin and it not only affected mankind, but the earth we live on. So go ahead and complain, but do so intelligently. Blame mankind and in doing so you will bring attention to the goodness of God and will remind us all that one day that cabin on the river will never flood.
