"JUST HANGING AROUND"

A few years back, I remember reading this short story about: A world renound sharp
shooter, who came to a small town and while driving by this home he saw a tree with a perfect circle and a perfect bulls eye. He was amazed at this perfection and wanted to see
who it was and how he did it.
He talked to the man asking him how he did it.
Oh chucks the man said; it was no trouble, I shot the arrow and then drew a circle around
it.

Question: Is that what we are doing with our life? shooting the arrow and then drowing a circle around it? Just hanging around waiting for life to give us something. Aiming and then drawing the circle around it to make it look like we really did something and we're
really good at it. Hanging around and living aimless lives! The story ended with:
Aim high and stop shooting at the ground.
I must seek the Lord's way and run for the goal.

Abraham, by faith looked for a city which had foundations, whoes builder and maker is
God. Heb. 11:10

Moses, by faith refused to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter, choosing rather to suffer
affliction with the people of God,than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Heb.11: 24
Joseph said; "Choose you this day who you will serve, as for me and my house we will serve
the Lord. Joshua, 24:15

Jesus came that we might have life, John 10:10
What will be your aim to day, hang around and live an aimless life or will
you follow some of these examples of the Bible? Make a goal and shoot for it.
