Culling The Herd?
Yesterday evening Tammy, Ethan and I all sit in our campsite and watched at least sixty deer make their way through the park.
It was so relaxing to see the young ones playing and the bucks testing out their antler skills.
One thing we noticed was that nearly all the bucks had spike antlers.
The does were all pretty thin and ribs showing too.
This reminded me that Texas had started culling out spikes years ago because it was believed that the spike buck was due to a genetic defect.
Today, it is a big debate on whether culling out the spike bucks even works.
Another popular belief is that the spike bucks are due to a malnutritional diet because of overpopulation.
That could be the case here at a Corps of Engineer Park where everyone is feeding the deer.
Like I said, we watched over sixty deer meandering slowly through the park with no worries.
We have been to Texas State Parks and seen very healthy deer that obviously are getting the nutrition they need to grow those healthy antlers.
I did a search on the internet and learned that the TPWD (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department) do draws for people to hunt the deer.
I learned that they do this to control the overpopulation of the deer.
Just based on the difference in appearance of the deer at these two paces supports the culling out the herd.
The Texas State Park deer are very healthy looking let alone the size of their bucks too.
This made me think about the culling of the human herd that is coming!
Matthew 13:49 NIV (49) This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous
Wow! That is a culling that we need to be ready for, amen?
Matthew 25:32 NIV (32) All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Here is what God gave me as I watched those scrawny little does and spike bucks this morning.
How nutritional is your diet?
Woe! That is it!
If we eat the spiritual food we are supposed to eat while grazing in the spiritual camps that we should be in, we will be healthy (righteous ones). Amen?
Ask yourself today. “Am I on that nutritional diet I should be on?”
Hey, we all want to be with the sheep when the culling starts amen?
May this find you grazing on the nutritious spiritual food that you should be.
Have a blessed day
