Stand Strong Against the Adversary
For a wide door of opportunity for effectual [service] has opened to me [there, a great and promising one], and [there are] many adversaries.
—1 Corinthians 16:9
It is true that whenever you do anything for God, the adversary will oppose you. But you must remember that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (see 1 John 4:4).
You should not have to spend your life struggling against the devil in order to serve God. Instead of wearing yourself out trying to fight spiritual enemies, you should learn to stand strong in the authority given to you by Jesus.
The best way to overcome the devil and his demons is simply to stay in God's will by obeying His Word and allowing Him to work things out according to His divine plan and purpose.
From the book Ending Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer.
