November 12 Devotion

This coming Saturday is the beginning of firearms deer season in Missouri. This is also the beginning weekend of our Operation Whitetail Events. I, along with many of my friends and family, will take to the hunting blinds or tree stands all throughout the state. Our volunteers and guides will be serving veterans coming in to each of our events. Hunting game that we anticipate and prepare for each year, just as soon as the previous season ends. This is a really important time for many, many, many people. There are school districts that actually shut down during these next few days to allow students help provide for their families.

We talk about being called to be fishers of men. We’re “fishing” for men that are lost. Men who need to know Jesus. What this means is that we’re called to go find those people (men and women) who don’t have a relationship with Jesus. And then to serve them in a manner that reflects God’s grace. The show them the hope that comes from Jesus.

With it being deer season, I’d like to say that we’re called to be hunters of souls. Just as we fish for men, we should be “hunting” for those with lost souls. Hunting for those that need to know the hope that comes from Jesus. Just as we prepare for the upcoming deer season, we should prepare for that one moment. Prepare for when that moment comes that we can witness to someone searching. We should anticipate it just like we do each opening weekend. Anticipate that God will send us someone who needs us to show who he is. And that’s really the “harvest” that matters. So let’s challenge ourselves to prepare for and anticipate so we can be ready when the time comes.
