Who does the devil see when he looks at you? Does he see a weak-kneed, fearful,
unbelieving Christian, shaking in his or her boots? Someone easily tricked by his wiles?
BUT - inside - inside, Sandals think she is as huge Great Dane - a macho Mastiff, an alpha
dog, as mean as a Chow can be.
Yesterday, while my son was visiting, the dog went into the
sunroom and suddenly made a really strange noise. I called
to my son who thought she might have to "go outside." I
said, "No, that was a really strange sound she made."
He opened the door to let her out and she took off like a rocket. In my back yard were 3
medium to large dogs who, upon seeing this holy terror rushing toward them, barking and
growling her head off - ran for their lives. She chased them out of the yard, to the top of the
hill at the edge of the property. She stopped there, turned around to look at Josh as if to say,
"Anything else you need me to do while I'm out here?"
Those dogs were much bigger than Sandals and probably, together, might have been able to
hurt her. Yet she had no concept that she wasn't capable of kicking their collective doggie
heinies for daring to be in what she perceives as one of her yards. More importantly, they had
no concept she couldn't kick their doggie heinies!
When the devil looks at you, who does he see? Who are you inside? As Sandal's proved so
clearly, who you believe you are - what you are inside - is reflected in your actions on the
outside. If you are full of the Word of God and act on that Word, covered in the armor of God,
the devil sees Jesus. He has no idea anyone else is under that armor because he only hears
the words of Jesus and sees the actions of Jesus - so it must be Jesus! And that scares him.
That is why he flees when we resist him in the power and authority of Jesus!

My son has a Schnorkie dog - a cross between a Schnauzer
and a Yorkshire . Sandal's stands about 10 inches high and
20 feet long. Sandals has big ears. When she was a puppy,
we didn't think she would ever grow into those ears. She
didn't. She is a funny dog and has a personality that makes
you laugh. You don't think "killer dog" when you look at her.
Sandal's isn't a small tiny tea-cup dog but it would really be
pushing it to call her a medium sized dog.

I now understand the strange noise Sandals made when she
looked out the glass door and saw those dogs in my yard. It
was the sound of a warrior!
