Lure The Wolf

Have you ever wrestled with a wolf before? Perhaps you have but you just didn't know it. Today's story is about something we have all experienced in our lives, and how we can ultimately face it.

In the movie The Bourne Legacy, Jeremy Renner actually lures and wrestles with a wolf. He defeats the fearsome animal by using a very powerful weapon - his brain.

The wolf in our lives is Satan. He can be fiubd in our fears and our doubts. And we really don't have to lure him at all. He already prowls around, looking for someone to devour. Or was that a roaring lion? (1 Peter 5:8) Lol!

Most people in Jeremy's situation would have been terrified and eaten alive. The ability to overcome our fears is essential if we are ever to overcome our enemy - Satan.

What is your biggest fear? Is it death? Loneliness? For me, my biggest "fear" was not being loved. I should say it used to be a fear. I was able to defeat that fear by utilizing an incredibly powerful weapon - Jesus.

When Joshua was about to lead God's people into the promised land God gave Joshua a command - "be strong and courageous." He used those words four times in the same chapter!

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:9

Our biggest weapon in ANY battle is God Himself. And He will always be with us wherever we go! And should we ever "lure Satan" (the wolf) into our lives, let Jesus defeat him!

The reason that Joshua and the Israelites were successful in capturing all of that land was not because of their own ability. It was because that God fought all their battles for them.

Have you been facing any battles lately? Have you allowed God to help you in fighting them? Or have you tried defeating them on your own?

God can overcome ALL of our fears . . . if we let Him. Be 'strong and courageous'! Call on the name of The Lord and be saved from ALL of your fears.
