Holt Rowland

1Corinthians 2:5 “Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” Holt picked a deerstand this year that we all gave him a hard time about. Not once has a deer been shot OR EVEN SEEN at this spot. But Holt meant that was his spot. Mr. Mitchell Dowling and Holt were setting out trail cameras a few weeks ago. Holt insisted Mr. Mitchell put one near his stand. Mr. Mitchell laughed; knowing like all of us that the camera would prove to Holt that there were no deer there. But just because Holt was so insistent there was a deer there, he set one up. Two days after the accident, Mr. Mitchell went to check the cameras and you wouldn’t believe what was on the one near his stand. Holt’s faith in his stand proved correct. This is what Holt somehow knew was there for him. This gives me comfort. I know that Holt’s faith in the Lord was even stronger than the faith he had in his deerstand.
