1 Chronicles 21:1-22:1
‘Satan stood up against Israel...’(21:1). ‘Satan’is ‘the devil’(Revelation 12:7). He is a powerful enemy. We must not underestimate him. In the service of the Lord, we face strong opposition. It is is not merely human - ‘our struggle is not against flesh and blood’. It is much more powerful - ‘the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms’(Ephesians 6:12). Satan is very powerful. When he wins a victory over you, confess your sin to God and seek His forgiveness, believing that ‘His mercy is very great’(8,13). Be careful not to overestimate Satan. Christ is more powerful (Colossians 2: 13-15; Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 John 3:8). Christ has won the victory. In Him, we have the victory - ‘they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb’(Revelation 12:10-11). Keep reminding Satan of Christ’s victory. Don’t let him forget it!
