I Chron. 21:1 Satan rose up
against Israel and caused David to take a census of the Israelites.
Don’t underestimate Satan’s work amongst us. He is bent on disruption and
destruction. He will take advantage of
whoever he can to create havoc in our lives.
He will take advantage of every situation we are in and use it against
us if we are not careful. He will do his
best to get us to do things on our own without first seeking counsel from
God. He wants us to see that which is
not good as being good for us.
In order to stay on top of what Satan is doing, we must stay
connected to the Lord. We must stay
spiritually alert and active so that we can recognize when Satan is at work on
us or around us. The more in tune we are
with God, the more obvious it is what Satan is trying to do. Don’t kid yourself; Satan is always working
against you to drive a wedge between you and the Lord. He gets into your heart through your mind and
he does not give up easily. Satan does
not know the meaning of the word no and he keeps on the attack, always trying
new ways to get to you.
We are in a constant battle for control of our hearts and
minds. It will not stop as long as we
have life. God leaves it up to us as to
who will control us. He is always there
to help us and give us victory, but He will not violate our freedom of
choice. You can choose to live in
victory or defeat.
Victory comes to those who intentionally and determinedly seek God
in their lives. They invest the time and
energy to know God and actively seek His role in their lives. They stay well-fed on the Word. They stay in close communication with Him all
the time. They stay in touch with God’s
children and let them influence their walk with the Lord.
Satan will never stop rising up against you. Stay within the shelter of God and you will
not fall victim to him.
