1 Corinthians 16:13
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
Have you ever played Wack A Mole? It is a fun game I use to play as a kid when we go to Chucky Cheese. The object is to wait patiently, keeping your eye on the board in front of you, and hit the mole on the head with a mallet when he comes out of a hole. There are many holes on the board and you never know which one he is going to come out. He is a pretty quick little guy and as the game goes on he gets faster. When I read today’s verse it reminded me of this game. Being on your guard does not mean dive down every hole looking for Satan. It does mean to watch out for him ready to jump out and pounce on you.
A Christian life is not meant for the faint of heart or lazy heart. No, we have to be read up, prayed up, and ready to battle at all times. We must be firm in our faith, courageous, and strong. When Satan sticks his head up, we have to be quick to pop one. Just like a real mole, if you let him get away soon your garden will be a disaster filled with holes to trip in, and all your veggies and flowers are gone.
So, it is time to pick up the mallet and be prepared to strike. Is time to be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. You’ve got this. Game on!
Lord, help stay alert and ready to whack a Satan! ~amen
