Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: — 1 Peter 5:8

Satan is not a game or a make-believe thing. He is real, and his power is meant to hurt. But instead of worrying about him, let’s resist him when he tempts us and put our attention on Jesus. He is the one who won the big battle with Satan at Calvary. He took Satan’s most powerful weapon and made it useless. Now we can fight back, and Satan will run away.

Prayer

We are grateful to the All-Powerful God for sending Jesus to free us from the grip of the devil. You have reassured me that my death will not mark the end of our relationship with you but rather the beginning of life with you through the death of the Savior. But today, I specifically ask for your support as I work to fend off Satan’s hold on my life in the following ways. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
