Let us take a little adventure. Let us say that we are on a playground, watching children at play. Two boys to be exact. At one moment everything between the two seems to be going perfectly, and the next, chaos breaks forth. The boys start arguing, and then pulling opposite ends of a toy, and then start pushing eachother until a full blown fight has broken out.
However, it is not really a fair fight. One of the children were what most would call a bully. Twice the age and the size as the younger child and started the confrontation. However, if you were to sit there and observer, it would only take a minute for a parent to come to the rescue of their child. So lets look at it from the smaller child's perspective.
This bully approaches. Tougher, bigger, stronger, and seemingly unbeatable by you. You engage and feel as you are getting destroyed. Yet, all of a sudden, your parent shows up. Some stronger! Oh so stronger!
Sin may feel like a bully to us. Like one that cannot be defeated. However, our Parent, GOD is stronger! SO much Stronger! To where the bully of sin seems like a speck of sand compared to God! The good news, God really does rescue us from this sin bully! All we have to do is accept Him, and fight in Him, against sin!
