How can we follow this verse if the Devil cannot be at all places at the same time? Aren't there too many people in the planet for him to prowl around? | ||||||
2 | What is the scope of Devil's action? | 1 Pet 5:8 | mark d seyler | 165846 | ||
There are. The devil cannot be harrassing you at the same time he is harrassing me. I doubt that I have ever been in the presence of the devil. I'm sure I have been in the presence of his minions, those demons that do his bidding. But why would the devil himself bother with me? There seems to me to be a greater percentage for him to be going after Billy Graham, or George W. Bush, or ? In applying this verse to our lives, this tells us something about Satan, and that he seriously wants to take us down. We should beware. This also tells us something about Satan's tactics. When lions hunt, and there used to be lions in Israel, some will often hide, while one will "prowl about" roaring. The idea was to frighten the prey, which would run to the ones hiding. We must not allow ourselves to be frighten, and to be put to flight. Many people seem to think of Satan as being the dark counterpart to God, but Satan is merely a created being, who is allowed by God to do his evil, and when the time comes that suits God's purpose, Satan will be dealt with quite summarily. Remember, he is an angel, and hos power, to be sure, but is a created being, and no match for his Creator. Love in Christ, Mark |
