2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
To underestimate Satan will spell out certain defeat. It's like a great basketball team that overlooks one opponent for another and then is handed a defeat because they overlooked them. However to give Satan to much credit is just has defeating if not more so. Take the same team that goes into a game and is afraid because they have heard that the other team is better or tougher and they end up because of fear not playing to the potential that they have. Satan is a real enemy and completely hates God and everything associated with God including me. He would like nothing more than to destroy my life as a lion destroys its prey. However the Bible makes it clear that Satan can only do what God allows him, that he is not all knowing, all powerful and in all places. He is limited, however his weapons are great and he is a expert at using them to get us to fail. But it is in those moments that we must hold onto verses like this one that are full of the promises of God and His truth. Truth will always defeat a lie and Satan is the author of lies. Today as I face temptation and the attacks of Satan may I be reminded the Lord is faithful and that he will protect me in the battle.
Father I need your strength today as I know Satan is waiting and ready to attack at any moment. May I in my weakness find strength in you today.
