Anita and I are planning an upcoming vacation in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I remember vacationing up there one year with my family. I think I was about 11 or 12. We were camped in a big World War II surplus tent (MASH style). Dad woke me up about 2:30 AM and we went for a drive. We were looking for deer or bear, or anything wild roaming around. I remember we saw a dog-like animal on the road (perhaps a coyote or wolf) running down the road. We gunned it and got right up on top of it before he dodged off into the deep woods.

Sometimes you have to get up early to see what others don’t see. Sometimes you have to go out of your comfort zone to experience what others will never see.

In our world, the supernatural isn’t seen in the normal. Someone has to do what is abnormal or go where no one else wants to go to see God come through. Most of the miracles and breakthroughs I’ve seen in my ministry have been when I stepped out of what is convenient and did that which was expedient. Let’s go on a treasure hunt in our own “Deep Woods” and see what God sets us up with.
