Psalm 118:17 (ESV)
I shall not die, but I shall live,
and recount the
deeds of the Lord.
A farmer and his friend went duck hunting. Eventually,
they got to talking about the things of God, as they always would. "You're
always talking about these battles you have with the devil," the farmer's
friend said to him. "It's so silly – I mean, I'm not even a Christian and
I've never experienced anything like that."
"Yes my friend," the wise farmer answered,
"but if you shot two ducks -- one was wounded and one was dead -- which
would you go after first?"
"Well," he said, "I guess I'd go after the
wounded duck – I can always get the dead one later."
"Mmm-hmm," said the farmer, "The devil
knows you're a dead duck."
For those of us who are walking with the Lord today, be
encouraged! Our enemy knows that we have potential to do great things for God,
and out of fear, he'll try anything to take us out. This is so very evident by
the constant battle we all face.
Let's stand strong against the devil today! And rise up
to the Lord's calling upon our lives! We will fight and we will WIN! Because if
God is for us, who can be against us?
Dear Lord, help us to stand strong today. Thank You for
the potential we have through You. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
