Your adversary!
From Choice Quotes of John Angell James JEWELS from JAMES
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking
whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8, 9
Satan’s power, though limited and restrained, is very
great. His trickery is equal to his power. His malignity
is not inferior to either. The very idea that this cunning
foe that may be near us at any moment, unseen, and
therefore unnoticed, and may be preparing some new
kind of attack, is indeed sufficient to alarm us, and to
put us upon the best means of averting the danger.
Satan’s Role in Our Trials
“Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world” (1 Peter 5:8-9).
All of Satan’s involvement in our sufferings and trials is under God’s control, which means our success against him is also in God’s sovereign hands.
