I saw another dead snake on Sunday, as John and Casandra are my witnesses. I ran past a man carying a dead skunk on my way home from the library. I skirted by a rabid raccoon on my way back to the car after bible study on Monday night. and lastly, today I spotted another dead snake, this time frozen and refrozen in the rain from last night.

Perhaps the same day that I posted this, I read Isaiah 27 in my quiet time. Verse 1 says, “In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong, will punish the Leviathan the fleeing serpent; and He wil slay the reptile that is in the sea.” That verse resonated for me, because what I remembered the best is the last part with the one snake trying to flee. On Monday, I’m free until 7:15ish. I have my Nav study later that night.

Time to get back into it. I’ve tagged you for a meme–six random facts about you. Unfortunately, I was writing my own post when I should have been baking you a birthday cake. What are you doing on Monday night?

Creepy–but it brings to mind two Scriptures:

First, Genesis 3:15–the serpent’s curse–“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”

And then, Mark 16:18–Jesus’ prophesy about the signs that will follow those who believe–“They will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Whatever the snakes you keep encountering might mean, one thing is certain–the snake has been defeated and no longer can harm us. Christ has bruised the serpent’s head and we can even pick up snakes without them hurting us.
