This is the view from my deer blind. I sit here waiting hour after hour for a deer to enter my line of sight. Time ticks away, and my mind rattles off a variety of thoughts. When will he appear? How much longer should I sit here? Is he someone else today? Just 5 more minutes! It is amazing how often you try to convince yourself that if you wait 5 more minutes than he might appear. The time spent waiting is so valuable, because you get to see the lay of the land. You get to determine your shooting zones. You get to experience major adrenaline rushes, as a squirrel scampers by, or a tree sways in the wind. Yet, the thing that keeps your blood pumping is visualizing that big buck entering the woods.
The waiting must happen, and it builds character as you brave the cold. 5 more minutes has helped me slay many deer. I wonder what might happen if you just waited 5 more minutes, for God to bring the thing that you have been visualizing? Don't exit too early and bail out!
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
