The Road Runner

I remember our girls the Road Runner Show. In the cartoons, Wile E. Coyote repeatedly attempts to catch and subsequently eat the Road Runner, who is portrayed as a fast running ground bird, but he is never successful. Wile E. Coyote, uses all kinds of things to chase Road Runner. Usually Wile ends up getting hurt while Road Runner goes on his merry way, once again the victor. The girls would watch that and laugh themselves silly at their antics.

Never before have I seen a road runner up close......until today that is. Where he came from or where he was going is a mystery. He zipped along our back porch like Wile E. Coyote was fast on his tail. He jumped up on the bannister; looked around, jumped down and headed down our driveway.

Mr. Road Runner appeared out of nowhere much like Satan does. Satan can be found in the most unlikely places much like Mr. Road Runner, who would normally be running in the Southwestern United States or Mexico. The road runner isn't particular about what it devours; snakes, small birds, insects, fruits, seeds, etc. It doesn't matter to him as long as he can snare it. Satan doesn't much care who he ensnares although he seems to prefer those who are Believers because he has already ensnared those who are not.

It's really difficult to know how Satan will be disguised, where he will show up and even more difficult to stop him just as it's difficult to stop the road runner.

"Satan can change himself into an angel of light," 2 Corinthians 11:14 TLB

" For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12 Modern English Version
