Periodically
our house needs painting. A year ago a storm that did a lot of damage around
here moved our painting schedule up a few years. Not to be left out, Ben
and Daniel decided to paint their rough wood play house in the backyard.
Fortunately, they couldn't get to any paint. Unfortunately they did make
some mud in the garden.
I suppose boys playing and even painting
with mud is natural. I might have even done
it myself when I was their age. But they were under
orders when they went out the SECOND
time not to get all dirty because we had plans for later.
But, boys will be boys when it comes to mud.
One problem with painting with
mud is that it really doesn't last very
long. It is just a
temporary covering with
no lasting protective value.
Paul described the
"lawless one" in
2
Thessalonians 2:7 & 12 as
one whom the Lord would "slay with the breath
of His mouth." Just like the mud paint that will wash
away with rain, Jesus' first exhale without even any words
will destroy the works of Satan and his followers. A lot
of what goes on round me is disheartening and scary at times. But
I know Who is victor
and Who will win when the time is up.
Jesus
Christ!
It is
He who I follow and trust to bring me safely to His presence.
You can rejoice today! We have another reason to be thankful.
Satan is only painting in mud!
