I
present to you a game of tug-of-war. It is a game of children against children
or so it seems. Most of the larger children are on the same team and are not
fair competition for the littler ones. Just when it seems as though the larger
ones would prevail, an adult or teacher, hearing the children’s cries for help,
comes over and helps the smaller children to win.
This game is like life. We try to resist the devil and
though it may look like flesh against flesh, we deal with something much greater
than our own strength. It feels as though the more we resist, the more he
prevails. That is, until Christ comes. He comes and pulls on our side and helps
us to win. We, like the small children, are powerless to win on our own, but in
Christ nothing is impossible.
Eph 6:12 -
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Luke 18:27 - And he
said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
