Genesis 14:14                                                                                  One of the most ancient strategies of war is that of ambush.  As one looks a little closer at what is entailed in an ambush, two key ingredients will come up again and again — surprise and concealment!  One dictionary defines ambush as “an act of hiding, waiting for others to appear, and then suddenly attacking them”. One of the hardest things to respond to is an ambush, you simply don’t see it coming!!!  You’re caught left-field when your guard is down when you least suspect it, and inevitably, you’re fighting from the disadvantage of recovery.  We have a common foe who is not unaccustomed to this mode of war.  Satan is a dirty fighter and we must learn how to stand our ground on the day of his special assault.  Play the man, stand firm in the fight, and see what God will do!
