"Do you hear what I hear?" You'd never guess! It's not an angel singing on high nor a Salvation Army bell ringer ringing below--it's not even the lovely music playing on my page! "Rocket the Radio-Control Wonder Dog," "Super Poo-Chi," "Me & My Shadow" and more, robot dogs with real-dog actions and emotions, are barking a "Buy me!" plea to every kid, mom and dad on the Web or walking the wide aisles of our malls, all over the USA!
Now have no fear, for one of these barking dogs is not about to byte you. They're just the latest, noisy fad that follows all the other best-sellers: the "My Buddy" dolls, the Barbie dolls, the Turtles, the Batman and wrestling figures, etc., etc. Parents, get ready--your kids have them on their Christmas wish lists--and THEY will be barking up YOUR tree real soon!
BUT...that's not all I hear! I hear a louder, angrier bark from below. My foe--and yours--is alive and well and walking all over this Web and this world, bringing sounds of condemnation, accusations, demands, harsh words and just plain hullabaloo to anyone who will listen. He doesn't attack his own--he goes after Christians who love the Lord. He's vicious--but YOU needn't fear--for you are victorious through Christ your Lord.
When he barks in your ear loud and long, confront Him with the Christ of Scripture who took the byte out of the bark FOR YOU. Then turn it around and give the barker a byte of God's Word! That Word is powerful, bigger than any bark or byte of the foe. His bark is indeed worse than his byte, Christian friend! Believe it and walk your world free in the victory of your Lord and the safety of His Blood!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, sometimes the old foe barks long and loud--and I am afraid. Help me to turn to YOU--to know that YOU have conquered him. He can bark all he wants, but I am safe in Your care. Help me to confront him with Your Word, and know that I win, through Your power and Your Blood, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
