King Jesus

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6
 
When mankind rejects God, the only hope left for man is himself. This reality became very evident during our country’s last election. All hope appeared to be lost: for some in the victory and others in the defeat. However, despite who wins or loses, Christians must point themselves, and others, to the only hope for man, Jesus Christ. For it is Christ alone who is worthy of our allegiance. Isaiah 9:6 makes it clear that He is more than qualified. As Counselor, we will grow wise from listening to Him, for His words are life. He will never be brash and all His words are true. As God, He is all powerful; no enemy can stand against Him. As Everlasting Father, His rule is without end. As the Prince of Peace,. it is He alone who will bring harmony to this sin-filled world. This is the hoped for Ruler. Christ alone is the One we place our full allegiance in, and it is our duty and joy as Christians to proclaim His rule until He comes! 
Come Lord Jesus, even so, come!
 
 
Fly Fishing tip of the week: Read the water.
So many times I will fish one of my favorites rivers and expect all the fish to be in the exact same spot as the last time that I fished it. Not so. Rivers constantly change and when a big storm hits they can change a lot. So before plowing into the water take time and note the changes that may have taken place since the last time you’ve fished that water. Has the level increased or decreased? Is there any new debris that may provide new lies? Asking some of these questions before you start may eliminate that skunk smell at the end of the day.
