“Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
Scripture says there is no temptation new to man. That means, whatever you’re going through, there’s someone else who has experienced the same. Satan is the father of lies. He can really be convincing in his trickery, but stand firm in your faith and resist him. There is nothing Satan can do to you without God’s permission. So if God is always in control, then you have nothing to fear.
Remember, Satan is prowling around like a roaring lion. You catch that? “Like.” He’s not even a real lion. Lions roar as a tactic to intimidate and let other animals know they’re there. It’s ok to acknowledge the enemy’s tactics, but understand he has no power over you or the God in you. When you need to be encouraged, recall those family, friends, or biblical giants who experienced the same sufferings that you may be experiencing today and stand firm in your faith. If God delivered them, He surely can deliver you.
Same God yesterday. Same God today.
