But because we are talking about conquering a formidable foe, abandonment is essential. Satan will never be moved by a double minded, self consumed people. But conversely, no weapon formed against a single minded, focused people will prosper. Psalm 8 reaffirms God s eternal desire expressed in creation. Here we find both the wonder and the adventure of God s desire.
Praise is the tactic of war.
Those who know how to praise are those who know how to overcome. In spite of sin, the Earth is still in need of rule and dominion and this extreme adventure is realized as we testify to the salvation of Christ and testify to the triumph of Christ. Now in Christ, man can once again rule and reinforce Christ s eternal victory over the Devil. Life s ultimate adventure is the extreme adventure of testifying to the salvation of Christ and testifying to the triumph of Christ. As we are restored to relationship and turn our centers to recover purpose we are truly alive.
