I just finished reading day one of the devotional by Louie Giglio from his book, Goliath Must Fall. This hit home with me because I really have been feeling like the enemy is attacking me hard of late. The Bible tells us in Genesis 3:14-15:
“The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”(there’s a good explanation about this passage here)
Satan thought he had Jesus defeated when he watched Him die on the cross, but 3 days later, Jesus demonstrated to the world that He is the one who crushed Satan when He rose from the dead defeating death and Satan once and for all. Satan is crushed but he is still deadly. Until that day he is thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10), he still is roaming the world like a roaring lion seeking who he can devour (1 Peter 5:8).
So what can we do? Let’s read what Louie Giglio has to say in this week’s devotional:
