Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.
– Henry David Thoreau
Peace of mind and the opportunity to escape reality is what I think Henry had in mind.
Many in our world are searching for that elusive goal. Real and lasting peace is only truly found in the pages of ancient words. Let me give you both sides of this coin.
Ezekiel 13:10
“Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace—and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered mortar—
John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Nothing wrong with fishing, but if it is peace you’re after, turn to Christ.
Give it some thought.
