There’s a story on the Lucille Ball show, “I Love Lucy.” She
travels through a small town and gets a speeding ticket and decides she’s going
to talk her way out of a fine.
She enters the little police station and behind the desk is
the Constable that cited her. She is determined, so she asks for the Chief of
Police. He changes his cap that says “Chief”. She then asks for the mayor, the
man changes his cap again and becomes the Mayor. To save her life, she can’t
talk her way out of paying the fine.
Are we like that man? Do we change our cap every day? Do we
wear the cap of, “certainty” one day, the next “uncertain”? We must wear the
whole armor of God, putting on the helmet of salvation. Being certain God is
the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. We must be aware of God living in us
each day and follow through with our actions.
Each day we must face the battle with the Devil and his
angels. The joy of the Lord is with us each day; we must only receive it. The
savior is waiting to open the door, why don’t you let him come in?
(John 17:15) “My prayer is not that you take them our of the
world but that you protect them from the evil one.”
