War of Attrition

War is not pretty, but it is necessary.  One day, while studying something for a class unit, I began to take a strong look at the strategies of how man fights man.  If these strategies work on man, then they may be strategies the enemies uses to defeat us.  As we know, Lucifer tried to exalt his throne above God and I read no where in the Bible where he still is not trying to do it.  He is trying his best to get the best of God.  One example of military strategy is a War of attrition.  In a war of attrition, the enemy attempts to wear out his opponent.  The Vietnam war was a war of attrition, the North Vietnamese were sure that they could tire the South Vietnamese.  It worked.  In a war of attrition, you have to make the enemy think twice about repeated attacks.  As long as America was in the conflict, we gave them everything we had.  It is only when we left that the South Vietnamese were overcome.  While we were there, the enemy thought twice about attacking.  If the enemy wants to keep attacking, you have to show him that it is not worth his while.  Bothering me makes me go deeper in God.  I run to the rock quicker.  I call for help sooner.  I get on the altar earlier.  I want the enemy to think long and hard before he attacks me, it just may make me go higher.  Don't let this tactic wear you out.  The enemy only backs off when the strategy is not working.
