No Chicken Little

Walking in this morning, Indie and I stopped to say hey to the chickens. Normally, all the chickens run away when Indie comes near, except for Sunny, our rooster.

Sunny is fearless and his one job is to protect his girls. Its quite remarkable if you’ve never been around a rooster and his hens. He is always on guard.

Well, Sunny and Indie got to hang out yesterday. It was fascinating. Indie thought they were playing, but Sunny had a different idea.

Needless to say, Sunny won. Indie submitted and Sunny walked away victorious, back turned to Indie as he confidently strutted (in every sense of the word) back to his girls.

Today, as we were walking by, you could tell the relationship had changed. Sunny just had to walk by the fence for Indie to back up. And you know what happened next?

This little hen, who never would have run up to the fence with such a threat just mere inches away, walked right up to it and stuck her neck out.

Y’all!

When you know you’re with the victor, you walk differently!

How much more so when we walk with the Holy Spirit? It doesn’t matter how big the enemy is, you know you have the winner on your side and you can stick your neck out as far as you want to (even though I wouldn’t really suggest that because then you’re just playing with fire). You know the enemy can taunt you, but he can’t really mess with you.

How cool is that?!?!?!
