A fisherman had
planned a special fishing trip for several months. He made out
a list of essentials and scratched each item off as he packed. He
had his car checked and serviced. All of his appointments were under
control. Everything was ready. He even made sure to leave his wife
and family well stocked with whatever they might need.
The long awaited time finally
arrived, and he eagerly bid them goodbye, hopped in his car and
left.
He arrived at his fishing cabin that
evening, got things tidied up and his food in order, set the alarm
for 4 AM, then went to sleep dreaming of the fish he would catch on
the morrow.
He arose hurriedly at the first
sound of the alarm, quickly ate eggs and bacon, almost gulping the
food down in his anxiety to get out on the lake. Just as he was
getting into his boat, he made a startling discovery: he had not
brought along any bait ~ the bait box was empty!
Many people prepare to meet God in a
similar way.
