I was watching "Prince Caspian" on TV this afternoon and whenever I watch it or the "Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" I am always left thinking about God and Heaven and spiritual warfare. Though this time I was thinking about the exemplary behavior of the youngest child, Lucy, and how it relates to my own life. Lucy is ever-faithful to Aslan even when the older and more "practical" among her have all but given up on him. She can see straight through the deceit of the White Witch and remains fiercely loyal to Aslan even though her older brother is deceived. This illustrates that once you have experienced true good it is easier to see through evil masquerading as good. But what I love the most about Lucy is how she is perfectly satisfied just to be with Aslan. If she is with Aslan life is good.

How would our lives look if we could just be satisfied to be in God's presence? Really think about that. To need absolutely no other source of fulfillment other than Jesus in our days, in our hours and in our minutes. Wow! What a thought! What a goal! The White Witch in our life that tries to inveigle us with this or with that would have no leverage over us because our only desire is Him and what He has to offer us. No hidden agendas, no ulterior motives. Just absolute obedience motivated by a child-like faith rooted in godly love. That is Christianity. That is a life lived in Jesus!
