Strong as Your Weakest Link

10/19/2012

 
Christian Devotional on how sin causes us to be weak.











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?

Last week you would have thought my fence was FULL of HOLES!! Then the Angels flew in and the Holy Spirit wove the fence back together!! 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!! ;)

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.
It is now my prayer every day to ask the Lord, "where does he have me in bondage?" And, "Help me, Lord, to discern the enemy's tactics in my life and how to stand in You."
He is a force to be reckoned with for sure, but not in our own strength. "It is through You, Lord, that we push back our enemies!" Psalm 44:5
