I love this from today’s reading: Remember, you are not the helpless victim of a tug-of-war between two nearly equal heavenly superpowers.
I’m picturing in my mind the way our kitten would act when he was defending himself – he would puff out his fur, stand sideways to his opponent so as to look bigger, arch his back, stick his tail straight up (it got puffy, too), and hiss for all he was worth.
The enemy talks some pretty good smack. He tries to appear bigger, more powerful, and generally scarier than he really is. Sure, he’s nobody we want to tangle with, but he was defeated at the cross.
I also love Neil’s statement that we worship God to keep his attributes in our minds. It’s not too often during my day that I think, Gee, isn’t God omnipotent! Yet a song from Sunday morning’s worship set will stay with me all week, speaking about God’s character to me.
I give up my freedom when I forget who God really is, and His place in my life. Today, I’m going to be conscious about remembering…
