The Predator

The Predator…

When the Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land, God reminded them of their first battle with Amalek. Deuteronomy 25:17 says, “Remember what Amalek did to you by the way when you came out of Egypt. He met you there and struck the back part of you–those who were weak behind you when you were faint and tired. He did not fear God.”

Amalek is a type of the enemy. His strategy is that of a wolf. He attacks from the rear, going after that which is weak and tired, and that which isn’t keeping up. Guard your weak areas, for that is where the enemy attacks.

Be mindful when you’re tired or spiritually weary because the enemy is waiting to strike. Remember, he goes for the weak and weary ones, attacking those who don’t keep up, who become separated from the flock and the Shepherd.

So get spiritually revived in God. It’s a safeguard. Stay close in fellowship and close with the flock. Most of all stay close to the Shepherd, so you’ll be kept safe from Amalek’s attack.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

Press in close to your Shepherd today. Ask the Lord to reveal the enemy’s plans to separate you from His flock. Ask Him to strengthen you where you have been weak.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
