Side with the Lord

Spread the love

John 10:10 “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. But I have come that you may have life!”

All Christians are in a battle and all Christians have an enemy that hates them. Our enemy is subtly planning his strategy. He comes to rob us of our hope, kill our faith and destroy our witness for God. But how good is it to be on the side of God! Left to ourselves we wouldn’t stand a chance. Left alone we would not be able to stand in the midst of such a powerful enemy. But we are not alone. God is with us.

We must also remember that He is an All-powerful God. So no matter how many plans Satan devises or tries to implement, the Lord is always one step ahead! Nothing takes Him by surprise. And if he does allow Satan to implement some of his mayhem, as He did with Job, there is always a purpose and the Lord is able to bring good out of it. How frustrating this must be for Satan to see his plans ultimately come to nothing! He thought he was onto a winner in getting Jesus crucified… He thought he had actually killed the Son of God! He probably rejoiced for a couple of days… only to witness Him rise on the third day and find that that death would be the very means by which he himself would be judged!
