Tonight I was reminded that the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. I often think of the devil as just some arbitrary force, but realize that if you’re doing the work of God, he is very strategic. He often knows just when to strike, and when to hold off.
This realization can really help us to, in Christ, overcome him. It helps to quicken our minds to the fact that things aren’t necessarily “coincidences”, but well thought out, planned ahead attacks by the enemy himself. All I have to say is “I’m glad Jesus died on the cross and conquered the power of the enemy. Halelujah!”
“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Romans 8:37
