Not long ago my daughter was busy taking care of her youngest when she spied a spider across the room. Her oldest son, now 6 years old said, “I got this Mom” & went over to stomp on the intruder. Until then the usual mode of killing insects in their house was for one of the boys to scream, “BUG!” then expect one of their parents to do the squishing.
There comes a point in every believer’s walk of faith when God expects them to start taking the battle to the enemy. He doesn’t want us screaming like a child & shaking in fear; He wants to see us maturing into confident soldiers of the cross. Go stomp on some snakes & scorpions in Jesus’ name.
