GOD MEETS A MATE, SATAN MEETS HIS MATCH: Prayer Note # 20

     “A figure hangs on a cross between heaven and earth. Two meetings are about to take place… A Man is about to meet His bride and a serpent is about to meet a curveball to the teeth:

“Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God! For Thou have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people.  (Ps. 3:7, 8 NKJV)

     Such beauty, such ugliness…union, disunion…joining, breaking… Only God could plan such an event—let alone have it turn our perfectly. ..Who but He could shed blood to create life, use pain to bring healing, allow injustice to satisfy justice and accept rejection to restore acceptance? Who could use such an evil act to accomplish so much good? Who could transform an act of amazing love into such violence and vice versa? Only God.

     Don’t you find it fascinating that the serpent who accomplished his greatest victory from a tree (of the knowledge of good and evil) suffered his greatest defeat from a tree (the Cross of Calvary)? Don’t you find it ironic that the first Adam succumbed to temptation in a garden (Eden) and the last Adam overcame His greatest temptation in a garden (Gethsemane)? Can God ever write a script!”
