 Tipped off the wooden bat, the screaming fastball slammed into the backstop making most of us on the bleachers flinch. Looking around, I saw the man behind me shaking his head. He had the same knee-jerk reaction as I did. “If that fence hadn’t of been there,” I said jokingly, “one of us would be missing a tooth.” My daughter, feeling a little shaken, chimed in, “Yeah, or missing a head.” It was the violent impact of the crashing ball against the fencing that got me thinking about God and his protection around us. But, what if we’ve got a hole in our fence caused by sin or unbelief? Could there be a rusty spot that’s corroded through, a rickety post that’s crumbling or an electric wire that’s down?

Today I feel like God's Precious Daughter again... of course I never stopped being her, but I felt like the worst thing in the world. I hate it when the deceiver gets his ugly fingers in my hair!! ;) 10/23/2012 05:53:40 am
Nancy, I hear you. Nice to know we've got some "heavenly material" making us strong right? Thanks for sharing. It helps others (including me) know that we are not alone!

I have been a Christian for so many years now, but (I am sad to say) it has only been in the last 5 years or so that I have been very aware of the enemy's tactics in my life. Of course, that's only because I have been really following Christ these last few years and of course, the enemy has stepped up his usual. Comments are closed.
