JAMES 1:12

When people are tempted and still continue strong, they should be happy. After they have proved their faith, God will reward them with life forever.

 

"WHY ME, LORD?" How many times have we all uttered these words in times of struggle or testing? I wonder sometimes on the lake how many things can go wrong.  "If this is a test, Lord, I'd rather take a written one!" either we can react to these trials with frustration, anger, and even foul language or we can react with patience. God promises to bless us when we patiently endure. A day fishing is seldom perfect, just like a day doing anything else is seldom perfect. How we handle these breakdowns, or tests, is what is important. We can be patient and be blessed or we can blow it - and what does that really accomplish any way.

 

TIP: Check the diameter of your fishing line. Different lines have different diameters, even in the same-pound tests.
