Prize Catch


Today is an historic day! My wife went on her first ever Fishing Trip and pulled in this 6.6kg (13lbs) Altlantic Salmon. Later in the day, she remarked to me: "I had the privilege to catch it, and you had the privilege of paying for it!"

Here's my own paraphrase of Habakkuk 1:14 (MSG) ~ "She pulls in a good catch...— a good day of fishing! She's happy... and she's going to eat well tonight!"

I can't let this opportunity go by without a reminder that, when we respond obediently to the love of God, we are His "prize catch"! He paid the ultimate price for us ~ such is His love!
