David Jeremiah 28 March 2022 Daily Devotional MESSAGE
Many zoos have indoor viewing areas that look out on to a wild animal habitat. Nothing separates children from, say, a roaring lion but a wall of thick glass. A child that might be devoured by a lion in the wild is safe while standing just inches from the animal. An “invisible” shield of protection is the difference between life and death.
The Bible says that the devil is like a roaring lion walking about, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). And yet the Bible says we are protected from “the wiles of the devil” by the “whole armor of God” (Ephesians 6:11). The invisible spiritual armor of God is our protection (Ephesians 6:10-18). We employ that armor by resisting the devil, causing him to flee from us. Jesus is the model for how to resist the devil. He resisted the devil in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-10) and “the devil left Him” (verse 11). Jesus also resisted the devil when he tried to use Peter to argue with Him (Matthew 16:23).
We invoke the armor of God when we submit to God and resist the devil. He is obligated to flee from us when we do.
The devil shall never lift his head … higher than the saint’s heel.
William Gurnall
