When I was a young Christian, my pastor introduced me to "The Screwtape Letters" by C S Lewis. These writings are really helpful in understanding how Satan works to deceive and manipulate us to to do HIS will, not the will of our Father God!
(Screwtape refers to our Father God was 'our enemy' in his letters.)
Screwtape is a senior demon in Satan's kingdom and has certain new interns he is training to become full demons. One of this trainees is his nephew, Wormwood. Here is one of Screwtape letters to Wormwood:
"Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks around upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and then still obeys."
(Read that paragraph again......)
So when we obey our Father, no matter what is happening in our lives, we make Satan's work much harder - We endanger his cause! We quench his deadening work in our lives! We defeat him!
Sounds like a good project for today, right?
Let's obey our Father God and destroy Satan's plan for us!
Let's keep trusting God, no matter what!
P S - Remember Job 13:15? 'Though He slay me, still I will trust Him!'
