Charis and I were reading from Genesis this morning, coming to the story of Eve eating the apple.
We discussed how the Enemy lied to Eve, causing her to question the trustworthiness of God. And how, today in our lives, the Enemy wants to cause us to doubt God's Word, too.
"This is the only weapon of the enemy: deceit. Because really, Charis, he's scared. The Bible says that he trembles and runs away because of one thing. Do you want to know what that is?"
YES!! She was literally sitting on the edge of her seat.
"He gets scared over the Name of Jesus."
The look of utter shock and amusment on her face was priceless. As was what happened next. She let out a loud, uncontrolable belly laugh.
If only I and the rest of the Church could get ahold of that type of attitude over the enemy and his true cowardice... Where we could belly laugh in the face of the enemy and all his ploys.

YOu are teaching your children well.
What an incredible moment!
What a moment! I love it that she was on the edge of her seat. What a great realization that we are with the strongest One!
I SO want to be in that place, where I can whole-heartedly laugh at the enemy. But since the snake picture almost made me wet my pants, I'd say I have a long way to go. ;-)
