"Chasing Does"
Well, I think that the season for bucks finding much interest in the does is in full swing. Living on 15 acres with plenty of natural surroundings, gives me the opportunity to enjoy viewing the chase. Witnessing the chase turned my thoughts to us as Christians and what it is that we are chasing. The devil has a way of taking our focus off of what should be our desire, to chase after Christ, and putting it on so many things of this world. So much so that there may times that as we are running after these desires, we are not looking up and run straight into the path of an "oncoming car" or the fiery arrow that Satan has patiently been waiting to fire. He has his methods of tempting us to continue looking down, seeing what he has to offer, making those things appear to be far more valuable than what Jesus has to offer us. Like the buck chasing the doe, the treasures of this world are a temporary thing. Jesus Christ, our Savior, was born an infant, was crucified on the cross as a man and now sits at the right hand of the Father. The treasure that Jesus offers us is eternal life. ETERNAL LIFE! He promises that in heaven He will wipe away every tear from our eyes and death will be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore for the former things have passed away. Revelation21:4 Perhaps those you want to experience the love of Jesus and His promises should find themselves chasing after Him just as much as the buck chase after the does.
