It can hit you so hard, so fast, that you can swear that you have seen, felt and heard it. Just like Chicken Little our reaction is rational, if not totally understandable, we will take it to the king. On our journey to the king, we come in contact with other things that think like us. So, we add more negativity and fear. Then Foxy Loxy comes along , he hears our story. However, he can clearly see that the sky is not falling but he will prey upon the negative thoughts you are already thinking. He will act so concerned that he will lead you astray and devour you. All it takes is the wrong reaction to one thought.
So, what do we do? Chicken Little purposed to go to the king. Isn’t this the answer, shouldn’t we immediately go to God in prayer? While prayer is always the answer, if you don’t discern the issue then you will pray amiss. So, you must first know what hit you and where it came from. This is essential in learning how to pray purposefully. You must know what you are up against in order to fight it effectively. If not, you can end up devoured by the enemy. The enemy will prey upon your confusion. He will make you feel ineffective. He may even condemn you, if the thought that hit you was a thought that fell straight from the limbs of your past. So you must take captive that thought, exhaust all the knowledge from the captive then strategize on how to gain victory! Don’t let a vain imagination take you out! Take it captive! The sky is not falling and victory is soon to come! Stay on The Path!
