This week I had a chance to face a fear as I was moving out my recycle bin and saw a large scorpion move on the ground near my flip flopped vulnerable feet. After moving away quickly, I returned slowly, this time I was armed for battle. I looked intently upon this creature. The scorpion was 4" long and it's tail was now curled up ready to strike. HOWEVER, being armed for battle, I dropped a 4" X 4" X 8" brick on the huge scorpion. Wounded from the first drop the scorpion moved slowly away, the second drop of the brick rendered my opponent motionless.
I became in the moment a fierce victorious warrior, John E. B. Scorpion Slayer Creigh Z. I placed the motionless dead victim into a container and sent it immediately to my friends via the social network, as fast as I could. I wanted others to see the battle I faced and rejoice with me in my victory.
What fear in your life is freezing your foward motion? What have you allowed to become a giant taunting you and your desires? The answer that leads to victory is in the arming for battle. For David and his giant it was five smooth stones. For me and my scorpion it was one little brick. Gear up for your battles, armed for battle with what God has given you. Soon with great joy you will post quickly among your friends the joy of victory. Fight fears freezing power with the fire from the Lord. When we set our faith in motion and our fears will flee!
