We were two young boys who often found ourselves wrestling. He was a challenge because he was stronger than I was and had a trigger temper that I needed to avoid at any cost. Sometimes we’d even be rolling down a flight of stairs or the steep embankment of a gravel pit. The weapon I had at my disposal was a sense of humor that I could easily use on him and subdue him. I think he preferred laughter to winning. (The Irish are strange that way.)
When God places us in difficult, confrontational situations, we must rely on the tools he has given us.
Ephesians 6:11-12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Can you see that? You are destined to wrestle, but God has given you the tools to win.
Think about it.
