A well blocked ball would send it over the boundary line, knocking it for a six where it belongs. W hen we receive a delivery that is aimed at our head, we can duck or play the well trained shot which will result in the victory. Our heads are protected by salvation which is our helmet. A right attitude of mind regarding God's rules of play will protect us. If there is any confusion as to where the boundary lines are, then Satan will always take the advantage to get us out.
Anger is a good example.
If anger builds up by constant attacks, the temptation to strike back with unbridled force is very strong. We need to remember that we are in this game to win, and so is Satan. Reacting to Satan's fast balls is not very wise. W e would get more done by remembering that we have no obligation to sin. We may feel like punching someone's nose, but we choose not to.
