The fog wouldn't lift until late morning. It was the opening day of Kentucky's muzzleloader season, and I was high atop a mountain looking for a buck making his way back to his bedding area. The day was perfect for deer movement, and it wasn't long until the action began. It didn't quit until about 11:30 that morning. As soon as daylight broke, I began to softly rattle just enough to let the neighborhood deer know there were two bucks around. I especially wanted the boss buck to know that he had two intruders. At 9:00 I spotted antlers about 45 yards away. The buck stood at that distance for a minute or two, long enough for me to get a decent glimpse of the size of his head gear. I was in big buck territory, and I had my hopes set on a wall-hanger. This buck was close to being just that. As he looked up toward me, I quickly appraised the width of his rack. He was a good buck; not exactly what I was looking for, but nevertheless a good buck. That's when the temptation began. For the next ten minutes I watched that buck through my scope. I counted eight points and no brow tines. He came as close as 25 yards. I wanted to pull the trigger so bad, but I also wanted to wait. I knew in Kentucky a hunter has only one buck tag, so whatever I took would end my season in that state. In a matter of a few short minutes I argued, debated, and weighed my options. I was torn in so many directions. I could settle for what was sure and safe or I could wait with no promise of ever seeing anything bigger the rest of the season. I passed. I'm glad that deer didn't stick around much longer. After he left, I thought about what had just transpired. I was reminded that my life and yours is made up of the same choice I just made. Most people go through life settling for what is safe and sure while God has something so much better for them. This happens because the lure of the good in our sight is stronger than the lure of the best just out of our sight. Are you settling for what is good because you can see the outcome? It may look good, but it may be keeping you from a great gift God has just for you.

He also speaks at wild-game dinners and men's events for churches and associations. gary@outdoortruths.org Then HE opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures Luke 24:45 Spiritual Temperature DANYALE PATTERSON (Part 2 of the "WEATHER" series) I have lived in places where the weather and tem- perature were un- predictable. One day it was hot, the next day warm, and then cold the following day. I was always shocked that these varying tem- peratures would occur all in the same week. Just like these fluctu- ating temperatures, sometimes our attitudes, emotions, and thoughts are fickle. Even our spiritual lives can be unstable and stale, but God desires that we have a passion- ate and growing relationship with him. Revelation 3:15-19 (NLT) says, "I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like luke- warm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! You say, 'I am rich. I have ev- erything I want. I don't need a thing!' And you don't realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference." Holy Spirit When our walk with God seems to be dragging on, instead of vibrant and intimate, or our spiri- tual temperature is low, we can ask God to refresh and refill us with his Spirit. The Spirit will also help us to pray. Romans 8:26-27 (ESV) says, "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." The Spirit of God is our Comforter and Guide. He will help us set the right spiritual tempera- ture for our lives which is being hot and on fire for God. Then, we will be equipped to live effectively and powerfully for Christ! PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Lord, you are good and your mercy endures forever. I praise you for being a consuming fire that purifies my soul. Forgive me when I was lethargic concerning my re- lationship with you. Thank you for being patient with me as I hold your hand on this walk of faith. I pray that your Holy Spirit and fire, will set me on fire always for you and your kingdom business. I ask that you take away anything in me that displeases you. Strengthen me to do your will. May your Spirit and Presence rest on me today and every day. I love you. In Jesus' name I pray - Amen." Danyale Patterson would love to hear from you!
