Love is in the Air

We turkey hunters head to the woods, set out a variety of decoys and commence to trying to lure a Tom turkey within gun range by imitating the sounds of a hen turkey. Yes, basically we try our best to deceive a love sick gobbler so we can put an end to his life. I love it! Although the season has been tough for some of us, a few of our huntin’ buddies have been successful at giving one of these big birds a “dirt nap.”

If you think about it, Satan likes to work the same way. He lures us in with all kinds of things of the world that call to us and tell us that it’s ok, it will feel good, that everybody’s doing it, and nobody will know. He is a great deceiver.
If we continue to answer his calls, we eventually find ourselves within gun range of the evil one who wants to ruin our lives. It pays to be diligent at what we put into our minds. The great deceiver will tell us all kinds of lies. In fact, the Bible tells us in John 8:44 that Satan is a liar and the “father of lies” and the truth is not in him. Examine what you are putting into your minds. Ask God to help you put into your mind what is good and pure. Read God’s word and pray. Paul reminds us in Philippians 4:8, “Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.”

Love is in the air in the turkey woods this spring. And because it is – we turkey hunt-a-holics will continue to hunt; because after all turkey hunting is lovely...and we should think about such things.
