The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Nathum 1:7
GOD IS OUR FATHER, PROVIDER AND PROTECTOR
One of the challenges I have in life sometimes is that I try to do things on my own without relying on God. I sometimes only think of getting God in a situation when things are not going the way I want them to go. This is wrong and I have prayed about it often.
Sometimes when I go hunting I get upset when I do not harvest anything. Have I done all the preparation for my hunting outing? I have my weapon. I have my ammunition. I have my cammo. I have my license. I have everything I need. But do I really?
Have I prayed to my God in heaven to allow me to have a successful hunt? Have I ask Him to go with me and occupy my thoughts and actions on the hunt? Have I asked Him to allow me to have a swift clean kill? Have I asked Him to allow everything in this hunt to be to His glory? I am ashamed to say but I believe you know the answer.
I must keep in mind at all times and in whatever I am doing that God is my Father, Provider and Protector. He wants me to recognize that He is with me at all times. As one of His children I believe He enjoys me recognizing that He is with me hunting or in anything I am doing. He is always there. I must work a bit harder to recognize that fact and be more appreciative of it.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
Sportmens Tip of the Week:
Always keep the bug spay in your hunting bag. Better yet buy you a ThermaCell.
