Many prizes are offered in different categories and the different sections offer prizes for varying species of fish.
As in just about every competition, you have to be in it to have a chance of winning the prize, or prizes, offered.
You or I can’t expect to win a prize if we don’t enter and then get about putting bait on a hook and dropping a line, or casting a lure.
We all might have the best intentions, make the best preparations but we might not be in the right place at the right time to hook the prize winning fish.
This might be a disappointment to some who enter but it won’t stop contestants from trying.
One of the great things about following God’s Plan of Salvation is; as each of us follow God’s Plan and, keep maintaining a regular relationship with God through the way Jesus has made available to us, we are ALL going to be awarded the major prize.
A place in heaven, with God, and His heavenly hosts for eternity.
Some words written by the Apostle Paul, in his letter to Christians in the ancient city of Philippi, are an encouragement to us as well here in the 21st Century: “ .. Forget what’s behind and do our best to reach what’s ahead ... run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize which is God’s call through Jesus Christ to the life above.”
What an incentive.
We don’t have to be concerned about the ability of someone else to outdo our best efforts, just keep on keeping on following God and we are all eligible for the big prize.
Isn’t that fantastic?
