Bible Study Verse: Ephesians 4:29 

“Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.” (NASB) 

Thoughts: Most of us who fish have heard the term “match the hatch”. For those of us who haven’t, it’s a fishing strategy that involves selecting an artificial bait that resembles what fish are feeding on. For this to happen, the angler must observe what the fish is eating. 

Action Point: What are you feeding on today? Are you feeding on things that push you to be more like Christ, or things that are temporal? It’s so easy for me to get caught up in things that have little or no eternal value. As I feed on things that push me to be more like Christ, I naturally edify and encourage others like Ephesians 4:29 instructs us. How can you encourage one person with your words today? 

Sportsman’s Tip of the Day: The “match the hatch” technique doesn’t just apply to fish. It’s a great technique to use for waterfowl to see what they’re feeding on.
