Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
At the start of archery season, I unpack all my gear that I usually use on a regular basis during early bow season. I always re-wash all my warm weather camo, make sure I have plenty of scent killer, all my arrows are refletched and flying true, knives are sharpened, etc….
We as hunters know all that needs to be done before season begins and even while season is in. Take the hunt for example, we know to always hunt the wind in every situation we can; we know to try our hardest to be scent free as much as possible and always have the confidence in all our gear. When that whitetail comes into range and your sitting in your tree stand or ground blind and your bow is in your hand, your brain goes into overdrive and all your pre-season preparation comes into play. For instance, you know that when you draw your bow back, you must anchor in the same spot everytime. You know that if the deer is 20 yards away, you don’t use your 30 yard pin. You have all the head knowledge, you have practiced it all year and are now ready to put it to use. The knowledge does you no good if you don’t apply it to your hunt.The same goes for God’s Word. It’s like knowing God's word but never applying it to our lives on a daily basis. What good is having the knowledge and wisdom of God's Word and it never being seen in our lives? What good is having the head-knowledge and not the heart knowledge? My prayer is that we all would take the knowledge and wisdom of God's Word and apply it to our lives, that it may be seen by others. Let God shine His light on you today! Let God use you today by being doers of the word, not just hearers.
-Matt
