“Yet Michael the
archangel, in contending with the devil about the body of Moses, dared not to
bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke you’.” Jude
9
In modern Christianity we often take Satan too lightly. That
is to our harm. Even Michael realized who Satan was in the order of creation. Lucifer
was the highest archangel in heaven He was so persuasive that he led thousands
of angels in rebellion to God. In order of creation he was higher in status
than Michael. Michael recognized this and called for a higher power to
forestall Satan’s desires. Only one power can quell Satan and that is God Himself,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
When Satan attacks us today, our only hope and strength is
in God. He alone can support us against this powerful angelic foe. God’s word
is given to us as a weapon against Satan’s designs on our life and soul. Not in
our own strength, but through prayer and God’s Word can we oppose our foe and
prevail in doing the will of God.
Father, Keep us alert to our enemy and protect us from him.
Amen
