1288) In Maine, there is a moose hunting lottery. If you wish to hunt these large awkward animals, you must register your name and hope on the day of the drawing, the officials pull yours.

Once you receive your permit, it gives you permission to hunt moose in a designated area. Many who receive their permits are excited; they plan for a week away from everyday life and go hunting these beasts.

Paul also addresses hunting in 2 Timothy 2:22. He tells us we are to “pursue” righteousness. This word pursue, means to hunt.

What is righteousness? It’s simply hunting for and making the choice to do what is right in God’s eyes. Notice I did not simply say, doing what’s right, because these days, many rarely believe in absolute truth. Many compartmentalize right to mean, “What is right for you versus what is right for me.” This is not what Paul is saying.

Hunt for righteousness daily. You don’t need to win a license to do so.
