Satan should come with a label - "CAUTION, fires without warning". Don't be fooled into thinking the safety is on, he is active and can hit you when you least expect it. Yes, he got a shot in at me today, and I did not see it coming. I was riding a wave of Holy Spirit excitement when I was king hit. Satan cast doubt in my mind.
If I sound defeated, I apologise. I am certainly not. Just a little more wary of how Satan works. He failed with this attack. I am more passionate about sharing the love of God than before, and I'm determined not to let him undermine the authority of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
It has got me thinking though about how underhanded Satan can be. Remember that Simpsons episode where the devil reveals himself to be Ned Flanders - "it's always the one you least suspect". Although I wasn't sure that I agreed with that, 2 Corinthians 11:14 says "...for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light". Scarey thought, hey?
Satan does come with a warning label. It's a very detailed one which tells stories of just how cunning he is. Fortunately, it also tells of the power that Christ has over darkness. Arm yourself with the word of God, so that when Satan does reveal himself, you are protected.
Bless you
