Today I read Psalms like any other day but didn't feel the strings of my heart being tugged at. No voice telling me to share what I read this morning. So I am going to take a break from Psalms today and write about something I read in C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity.
Excerpt from Mere Christianity:
Enemy- occupied territory--that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from our friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery. I know someone will ask me, 'Do you really mean, at this time of day, to re-introduce our old friend the devil--hoofs and horns and all?' Well, what the time of day has to do with it I do not know. And I am not particular about the hoofs and horns. But in other respects my answer is 'Yes, I do.' I do not claim to know anything about his personal appearence. If anybody really wants to know him better I would say to that person, 'Don't worry. If you really want to, you will. Whether you'll like it when you do is another question.'
We are in the midst of an unseen battle for not only this earth but our very souls. The question I put to you today is...Which side are you on? Do you know or are you merely guessing? If the answer is that you are guessing, I would encourage you to find an elder or minister who knows more about Christ and ask them the questions that are on your mind so that you will no longer have to guess but will know the answer to my question for your own sake.
