Bats in the Belfry!?!
Down the Path to the Well--a thought to remember along the way
Anyone got "bats in the belfry" today? The other day I got an email panic from a good friend. Seems that a bat got in her house and had the nerve to settle in her office. Now Christian webmasters are known to have all kinds of bothersome problems--but BATS? That's another story and Vickie's got a tip for you--keep a BROOM handy in your office, just in case! Husbands can help too! It was very funny to her faraway friend--but then I was not bat-challenged as she was!
Back to the question, "Anyone got 'bats in the belfry' today?" Not REAL bats (it's against the law to kill them!) and a REAL belfry (it's against my better judgment to build one atop my house)! No, I'm talking about the wild, wooly, wacky thoughts that fly around in the back alleys of your brain, that lurk in corners and lie in wait, causing turmoil, confusion, fear, doubt, dismay--you name it--and BATS cause it! They're the dark-eyed, defiant dissenters of the Lord and of YOUR Christian life--and they'll take over, IF you let them!
Well, go get that broom--no, go get the Helmet of Salvation, the Sword of the Spirit, the whole Armor of God...and chase those bats out of your belfry today in the Name of the Lord! Fill your mind with the good things of the Lord--and watch those bats fly or flee--or whatever bats do--as I sit here with a smile at my computer and visualize all of you, in battle gear, battling bats all over the world! Have a great, bat-free day in the Lord!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"...Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7 KJV)."
"...whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do, and the God of peace shall be with you (Philippians 4:8,9 KJV)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, I hate bats--and they're in my belfry! Thoughts totally out of order, uncontrolled chaos from the enemy of my soul. I resist his advances in the Name of the Lord. I plead Your Blood, I put on the Helmet of Salvation and I will go on my way, praising the Lord who fills my mind with GOOD things! In Jesus Name, Amen."
