Title: Proactive or Reactive?
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. – Ephesians 6:12
I love to hunt, especially dove hunting, but I am not a very good shot. In fact, the first time I ever hunted for them, I shot 325 rounds through my shotgun
and only got nine birds. My buddy used to say, “You got to put the lead in the air to hit something.” That’s what I call sound strategy to engage the quarry.
I jest, of course, but it caused me to think about our struggle with our enemy. Too many times, we are on the defensive and not actively engaging in the
fight, but letting the enemy bring the fight to us. Let me remind you guys: we serve a living and powerful God it is through His power, not ours, that we can
defeat this enemy. As the Scripture says, “If God is for us, who can be
against us?” (Romans 8:31)
