GETTING OFF MY HIGH HORSE

Today's reading: 2 Chronicles 16-20

"When the surrounding kingdom heard that the Lord himself had fought against the enemies of Israel, the fear of God came over them." 2 Chronicles 20:29 NLT

Christian speakers would like me to believe that I am a God princess, a mighty warrior and have the power to name it and claim it on behalf of the Lord's promises.

Maybe.

But on the days I choose to fight the Devil, stand in my royal uprightness and rattle off Bible verses left and right--and still get my tail whipped, I am reminded that I need to get down off my high horse.

Why?

Because my enemy isn't afraid of me. Of my title as blood-bought child of God. Of how many Bible verses I have in my noggin.

He is afraid of God.

And when I let God do the fighting for me, my enemies scatter!
