My husband is an avid hunter. He would much rather spend his Saturdays in the fall and winter deer hunting in the woods than watching football. To him, life doesn't get any better than a tree stand, warm clothes (camo, of course!), a trusty rifle, and woods full of wildlife. Nothing is more satisfying to him than know our freezer is full of meat for the winter and spring.
Our two year old has a different definition of hunting. He likes to grab a bucket and go on a berry hunt. Our yard is lined with blackberry and raspberry vines that are now ripe. Every couple of days, we go with our buckets to see who can pick more. He loves eating his blackberry pancakes or muffins, knowing that he picked the berries himself.
Hunting means searching for something that can satisfy a need or a hunger. David said in Psalm 70:4, "Let those on the hunt for you, sing and celebrate."(Msg) If any of us have a hunger or need, God can fill it. Yet, how often do we really hunt for God? Do we search for him? Are we willing to wait in a tree stand patiently for a sign of his presence, or do we brave the briars and dive right into a life full of His Spirit?
How are you hunting for God today?
