Bone tired and battle worn

Yesterday, I saved a bunny. I thought I was freeing it from a log that fell on it but it wasn't that simple. I heard this horrible screaming coming from the log pile when I went to check on our chickens. It was unbearable so I went looking for it. I saw a bunny beneath a log and a piece of bark struggling to get free. I moved the log and told him to go. He still screamed and struggled. I said, "Honey that bark isn't holding you down, run!" But he continued. Then I saw it. A red ringed tail twitching underneath the bark. Tom warned me about red tailed weasels. They are vicious and will attack anything. I was afraid it would turn against me but still, I had to save the bunny but I couldn't lift the bark with my hand or it could bite me. I took the log that I had picked up and slammed it on the part of the bark that the weasel hid under. It promptly let go of the bunny and both ran away. Much the same way, we battle it out for each other, side by side, because our enemy is always working on one or all of us. We got to fight for each other! We got to hit him with a log, a rock, with scripture and spiritual warfare. We gotta recognize that even in the quiet, the people next to us are screaming for help and too proud or too weak to say it. We gotta see with His eyes and fight with His love! We gotta be ready, regardless if we are battle worn and bone tired, to help those that aren't strong enough.... because one day it may be our time to scream. I am always here for you all. This sermon on YouTube of Priscilla's speaks volumes to me. I think ya'all need to hear this. I love the way she approaches our battle with the evil one! WE are family... we are warriors... we battle to save each other as well. Priscilla Shirer-Protecting Your Spiritual Lifeline
