Bible Note: Keep watch! Satan wants to completely drown or swallow up our testimony. Satan is both cunning and cruel. He attacks when least expected and desires to destroy completely those whom he attacks. "The Greek word for 'devil' means 'slanderer'; thus a malicious enemy who maligns believers. He and his forces are always active, looking for opportunities to overwhelm the believer with temptation, persecution, and discouragement (cf. Psalm 22:13; 104:21; Ezek. 22:25). Satan sows discord, accuses God to men, men to God, and men to men. He will do what he can to drag the Christian out of fellowship with Christ and out of Christian service (cf. Job 1; Luke 22:3; John 13:27; 2 Cor. 4:3-4; Rev. 12). And he constantly accuses believers before God's throne, attempting to convince God to abandon them (Job 1:6-12; Rev. 12:10)."
