Here was today’s devotion
Scriptures to Reflect On, 8-14-21
Satan is Real
Job 2:1-3 (KJV)
1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.
2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
Today’s passage of scriptures makes three things very clear to me. 1st Satan is very real and he goes throughout all of the earth looking to make trouble for the children of God. 2nd Satan goes before God and accuses the saints of God trying to get the Lord to turn his back on us. 3rd God knows each of us personally and he trusts us to remain strong even though the devil works against us to destroy us.
There are many scriptures that I can turn to in order to encourage you not to let the devil win in your life today. But these three come to mind this morning.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end (to give you hope and a future).
Hebrews 13:5 …..for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Matthew 28:20 …..and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Yes, Satan is very real, and he tries to make trouble for us. But we have the Lord on our side. So, trust the Lord to keep you child of God, because you have hope and a future with a purpose.
In Christ,
