My brother-in-law just got back from a canoe adventure in Montana. I asked him about the wildlife out there because they have critters that can harm you. Even some that can eat you. He said he was awakened one night from the rattle of a rattle snake outside the tent.
You won’t catch me hiking or canoeing in Montana. “Maine, the way life should be.”
The apostle Paul had a real problem with critters in his life:
2 Corinthians 6:4-5
But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;
Paul did that because he was called by God and loved the Church Christ died for. How much more should we endure our minor discomforts and dangers?
Give it some thought.
