The North Carolina East Division held their fifth and final Team Series tournament on the Pasquotank River in Elizabeth City, NC. 20 teams launched from the Waterfront Park boat ramp on Charles Creek in search of the winning bag of fish. The weather was overcast with light winds and the clearing skies throughout the day. Temperatures were in the upper 70’s with light southeasterly winds. Division Director Pat Seigh provided a devotion before the launch which focused on a scripture verse coming from Psalms 121:2 which states “My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.” The devotion titled “Heaven on Earth” mentioned that since the economic downturn that began in 2008, our modern conviction is; we can have anything we want whenever we want. This erroneous concept gets transferred to our spiritual life, especially when Christians read Bible verses that suggest we can ask for whatever we want in Jesus name and receive it. In the prayer Jesus taught the disciples (and us) to pray, there is a needed corrective to that cultural conditioning. Praying for Gods will to be done “on earth as it is in heaven” is a way to align us with God’s will, not God with our will. God’s will is obviously done in heaven. If we pray for his will to be done on earth, that means we need to align ourselves with and conform to His will. That means praying like this; “Father, I want Your will to be worked out on earth. If that means I need to change my life to have “heaven on earth”, then I am willing to change. “The apostle John wrote that when we pray according to His will (not our will) we know God hears and answers (1 John 5:14-15).

When you pray today, ask God to enable you to be conformed to His will so that it might be done on earth just as it is in Heaven. To obey Gods will is the way to have our will.

With our teams were blessed with a perfect day to fish, 20 teams brought 79 Bass to the scales that weighed 231.69 pounds.  The average team weight was 11.58 pounds and the average fish weight was 2.93 pounds.
