Every now and then, I get to spend some time with friends doing some therapy. Better known as shooting guns at targets down range. At one of the past sessions, I was with the President of Charlie 22 Outdoors and three veterans. One of the veterans was one of the founders of the ministry. He actually hosted us. His property is pretty incredible. Such an amazing part of the creation. We all had a great time of fellowship and firearms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m always interested by the knowledge that these guys possess when it comes to long range shooting: Minute of Angle, D.O.P.E., Hold at 3 clicks, Etc. All foreign to me. I just know enough to look through the scope, put the cross hairs on the target, and pull the trigger. And when you are shooting at 500 yards away, my limited knowledge would have me way off target. No doubt. To have any chance at all, I needed them there too guide me. To tell me how to adjust to what I was aiming at. And even then, I missed my targets several times. But, I eventually hit everything, including a 4 inch diameter circle with Tannerite in it. It really was an awesome afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having them there to assist me reminds me of having Jesus in my life. Just as I would have missed my targets all day long without their assistance, I miss my targets daily in life without Jesus. Even with him guiding me, I still miss sometimes because of my attempt to go it alone. Isn\u2019t that human nature? To do things ourselves. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s the correct thing to do. I\u2019m just saying that\u2019s what we do. And I\u2019m also saying that I fail all the time. I fail because, I\u2019m trying to go it alone. I need Jesus. ALL\u2026THE\u2026TIME!!! We all do. And I am confident in saying that I bet we would all agree that without him, failure is eminent. So today, let\u2019s strive to put Jesus first in all that we do. Let\u2019s let him guide us. Let\u2019s let him help us stay focused. Please remember he has a plan for us. And it is glorious. Let\u2019s also remember, even when we fail, it\u2019s never too late to turn to him. He will take us where we need to go. He will keep us on target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
