So when I stumbled across this passage I knew immediately my war with the beast of the field had a point. I go into greater detail in the lessons on military battle but I highlight this one aspect here because of its personal importance. I am convinced that the Lord plans far ahead for test, temptations, and hard times.

Buried in this passage is the little phrase that he Lord had prepared hornets to attack the enemy. Pause for a moment…. What did you do Lord….prepare a bunch of overgrown wasp then I reflect on what I know about the enemy.
