For what can
war, but endless war, still breed? – John Milton
As a child I played a game at arcades known as Whac-A-Mole
which had five holes where moles came out of; each gamer was given a
sledgehammer to whac the mole.
After about 3 minutes the game became monotonous and endless, but I kept
at it until I finished (and with a high score!). Our war against sin can sometimes feel much the same: as
soon as we conquer one mole, another mole shows it’s ugly head. Jesus will
always be the only man to ever finish the game with a perfect score, but we too
can conquer sin with God as our sledgehammer and finish with a high score.
No
temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he
will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he
will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1
Corinthians 10:13)
