"Is the devil riding your back? Remove the saddle."
My initial thoughts were, "That's pretty clever." But as I rode on, I got to thinking about it more. So what if you remove the saddle? He will probably just ride bare-back! No, I think if you happen to find the devil riding your back, start kicking and bucking like an untamed mustang. I'm sure you've seen images from rodeos, right. Do that.
Then, once you've bucked him off, keep tromping and stomping that rat-faced boogersnot! If you are successful in that, don't prance around like one of those high-stepping and strutting Tennessee Walking Horses. No, it would be wise to gallop away like you were American Pharaoh in hot pursuit of the Triple Crown!
The Bible does say, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you." Right? Well, not exactly. If you read that text from the epistle of James, you should note that he first instructs us to "submit ourselves to God." Then, and only then, can we dream of succeeding.
