Imagine, opening day of gun season: you are perched 20 feet above the ground. The buck you’ve been watching since August, a 10 point, is standing 25 yards away. You slowly raise your rifle to your shoulder, you get the buck in good focus, and you slowly squeeze the trigger. Click. The gun doesn't fire, the deer runs off, and you are left wondering, “Why did I not check this earlier!? “You forgot to load.
In some ways life is the same way. Some people are so busy ‘getting hunting gear together’ and ‘setting up tree stands’ that they forget or just ignore getting the things that are most important done. John 3:16 and 17 says, “For God so loved the world that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved.” I greatly encourage you to load your chamber of salvation today. God's Word says now is the expected time. Today is the day of Salvation. If you’ve hunted very much you know there's going to be a time when you miss your target or fall short. As humans we fall short of being perfect so we cannot go to Heaven. The Bible says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” I encourage you to load the "bullet" of salvation today so when your moment of truth arrives you will be ready.
