Good morning, happy Saturday,
“‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,’ says the Lord.”
(Isaiah 54:17).
God protects His people, His servants. In ourselves we are no match for the devil and His evil forces. He knows our weaknesses and attacks us when we are at our weakest, but God is far stronger than all the hosts of wickedness. Satan is a defeated foe. Christ crushed his head at the cross of Calvary. Still though, he fights on relentlessly, powerfully, and mercilessly. He never quits or takes time off.
God protects us from the devil’s onslaughts and gives us the victory. The devil forms his weapons against us but they shall not prosper. Psalm 91:7-8 says, “A thousand may fall at your side; and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near to you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.” When Satan incited God against Job, God gave him permission to buffet him. In the end Job came through his great trials and was victorious; and Satan was stymied, thwarted, and defeated.
Satan is behind all the evil in the world and he uses people to try to harm us and make us look bad. We must always we remember the devil will keep firing his flaming missiles against but they can’t get through the shield of faith, and all the other armor we put on. Ephesians 6:10-11 says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Are we attacked? Praise God we are on the right track, on the right side, doing God’s will, and serving Him. The devil, as we said before, doesn’t waste his ammunition on uncommitted Christians. Let’s thank God for His protection. No weapon formed against us shall prosper.
Have a blessed day fighting the good fight of faith, and relying fully on the Lord’s protection. He is our defense. Stay safe and healthy.
In His grace,
Dean
