I’m not sure whether I’m Boggis, Bunce, or Bean*, but the last few nights we’ve been engaged in a battle of wits with a Fox who is determined to eat our chickens.
The first night our daughter, Issy (first on the scene), saw the fox in the chicken run with a chicken in its mouth – but she and our dog scared it off and somehow all the chickens survived the ordeal (so far – they may yet die from injury). The next day I spent some time securing the chicken run so that last night, although the chickens alerted us to the foxes return, he couldn’t get into the chickens. It remains to be seen whether he makes a third attempt tonight and whether my security measures will be sufficient.
In Ephesians 6 we’re encouraged to be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. He has equipped us with the full armour of God so that we can take our stand against the devils schemes.
Are your security measures in place against Satan’s schemes? – the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. Let’s put on the full armour of God – and live our lives secure and safe in God’s strength!
Blessings,
Ben
