"Now then, please take your gear, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me;" - Genesis 27:3
Though I’m not a big fan of this chapter of the Bible as a whole, this verse in particular is one of my favorite in all of Scripture.
For me, without question, some of my most intimate moments with God have been in the context of enjoying His Creation while hunting. It is in these Sanctuaries of Alpine meadows, dark timber mountainsides, sage covered Sandhills, hardwood bottomlands, plum thicket prairies, Osage orange hedgerows, windswept plains, deep cut draws, and every other place I find myself outside and in pursuit of game, that I feel God’s presence the most. These are the places where my heart breathes deeply, my head is cleared thoroughly, and my Soul itself is restored. It is in these places where I personally and powerfully feel the Hand of God, as I am surrounded by His handiwork.
Thank You, LORD, for the time You give, and the times You speak to me, as You surround me with the irrefutable evidence of Your Existence in Your Creation. Please continue to speak to me in these moments and places, where I take the time, and find the space, to call on Your Name.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
