Guard Your Heart

Guard Your Heart

Several months ago I purchased my wife and daughter each a new P.S.E bow from Archery Unlimited. For the past few months they have spent many hours practicing with them. The first thing they needed to work on was perfect form , you see you can’t just pick up a bow and start shooting. You must find your anchor point and become consistent with it on each shot. The string must go across the end of your nose to keep the left and right consistent. Then they had to get used to using a peep sight! Finally they were ready to shoot at the target and shoot they did. We have spent many hours as a family practicing with our bows. After a few trips to the archery range they moved from field point targets to a 3D - Deer Target. With the use of the deer I explained to then where they needed to aim to have a pass through heart shot.

With a well placed heart shoot a deer will go down quickly.

Satan is an expert when it comes to a well placed heart shot. I am not saying he is an archer, but He understands the damage He can do to a individual’s life by piercing the heart. Satan is a destroyer of lives and he wants to destroy each of us daily. He has had a lot of practice and I hate to say it ,but a lot of success at it also. He is out to destroy families , friends, and even marriages. Nothing is sacred to him or off limits. You must be on guard yourself from him daily , because he is hunting for your heart.

Scripture For The Month:
" Above All Else, Guard Your Heart"

Proverbs 4:23

Thought For The Month:
" Have You Let Your Guard Down and Taken A Heart Shot From Satan? If So Spend Time With The Father He Is The Healer Of The Heart"

Hunting Tip Of The Month:
A Good Bow Hunter Knows The Importance Of Practice. Don’t Make The Mistake Of Wiping The Dust Off Your Bow The Week Before Bow Season. Spend Several Months Before At A Shooting Range So When Crunch Time Comes You Can Pull The Shot Off. After All It Could Be A Shot Of A Life Time.
