He is called the Lord of Hosts. I like that. The Lion, that CS Lewis' Pevensies reminded us again and again is not a tame Lion. I like that too. I am no warrior. There is little of one in me. Yet I am called to do battle daily. Beating flesh and thought into submission, resisting the enemy's wiles and fighting the good fight. I envy the (pretend) men who long for battle and when they have one revel in it.
I do not think I can take anything from my enemy. I say today, however that I will give him nothing. A fictional warrior said, "Give them nothing" and another, "Show no mercy, for you will receive none." I will give him nothing, and to my Lord everything.
That is my prayer.
