**My 10-year-old granddaughter and I are using pictures that we have taken to put devotional thoughts to them. Here is our first devotional picture. Our nickname for our devotional pictures are "Picture Dees."
It’s a fun thing to go fishing, as Brooke and Marissa know. Something else they know is the fact that depending on what they want to catch they need to use the right bait. Once the proper bait is put on the hook they will need to reel in the fishing line from time to time to see if the bait is still there. Satan is someone that likes to go fishing too. What he wants to hook is us, our souls that Christ died to save.
Unfortunately Satan has no problem putting out the right bait, that perfect snare that will hook any of us. He knows all to well what our weaknesses are that will get us to fall for his temptations. Once hooked we can give in and allow him to drag us to shore to be devoured or we can put up a good fight and jump and thrash around until we have come off the hook he tried to catch us on.
Another fisherman is Jesus, He too is out to catch as many people as He can but not to devour us but to save us from our own sins. Pulling us into His boat in a journey to Heaven. It’s either Jesus’ boat or Satan’s snare. The choice is ours and the consequences will be ours too for decisions made.
