Thursday, April 8

We have a struggle . . . against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.—Eph. 6:12.

 

 

One of the most heartwarming ways in which Jehovah shows his concern for us as his servants is by helping us to resist our enemies. Our main enemies are Satan and the demons. Jehovah warns us about these enemies, and he gives us what we need to resist them. (Eph. 6:10-13) When we accept Jehovah’s help and rely on him completely, we can succeed in opposing the Devil. We can have the same kind of confidence that the apostle Paul had. He wrote: “If God is for us, who will be against us?” (Rom. 8:31) As true Christians, we are not fascinated with Satan and the demons. We focus most of our attention on learning about Jehovah and serving him. (Ps. 25:5) However, we do need to know the basic ways that Satan operates. Why? So that we can avoid being outwitted by him.—2 Cor. 2:11; ftn. w19.04 20 ¶1-2

  As a protection, we don't get ourselves involved with the deep things of Satan. Even throughout the scriptures we only know enough of Satan to protect ourselves against his tactics.
