Great Cosmic Battle
If you do not believe in a great, unseen, cosmic battle taking place every minute of every day, then you must not have read the full narrative of the Bible. We face an insidious enemy at nearly every turn, as he wreaks havoc, demented by his rebellion and cursed forever by His Maker.
Satan is more powerful than us, having been originally created as a great angel of God. He moves and works in the invisible realm, with access to many demons. However, perspective is always necessary. Keep in mind that the One who has redeemed us and made us His own, Jesus, is infinitely higher and infinitely greater than the devil. As challenging as he is to us, Satan is a mere created being of God. He had a beginning, and he will have an horrific end.
When I sense the darkness of the battle setting in, and when I feel the enemy pressing hard against my soul, I run in greater dependence to my Savior. I plead His shed blood over my soul, and I trust in His power and saving grace. Salvation is not for a moment, or a day, or a season; salvation is forever. His blood will forever be my power over the evil of the enemy and the sin of my own heart.
I will soldier on in this world, until I see my Savior’s face. Long after Satan is doomed to eternal Hell, I will be walking the New Heavens and New Earth with Jesus – safe forever.
