Hunting isn’t always about the harvest. The early morning trips to the blind, the sunrise view when you get there and the memories made with the ones you love. Its teamwork "an ability to work together, which determines success". It’s the partnership between man and dog. For you it’s a sign of a job well done. A time commitment worth making and a bond like no other. Just as our four legged companions show to be a great tool in the field, the creator of us all uses the tool of our heart to bring others to the kingdom of God.
“Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.”
If you neglect the training of your dog in the off-season and don’t keep them active, they can be more of a hindrance than a tool. We are the same way. If we don’t stay in the word constantly, when the time comes for us to share our faith we will be unprepared. Make an effort to dig into God’s word consistently. You will become a great tool out in the field for the Lord.
