Persecution
Did you know the devil has weapons aimed at you, right now? We are generally afraid of weapons of mass destruction, especially if those weapons are in the hands of those who are unpredictable enemies. So, our nation went to war against the people of Iraq based on information that they possessed weapons of mass destruction that could possibly be used against us by a leader who had the propensity to use any weapon to destroy those he perceived as enemies of the nation. The information later proved to be faulty but the prospect put us on guard.
The source of war and destruction is Satan. He causes nations to rise up against nations and conjures wars and rumors of wars. He does the same with individuals. Satan is constantly busy devising ways to destroy or frustrate the people of God. We know this is true because the word of God says, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8. Satan is busy forming weapons against the people of God. While these weapons may not necessarily be atomic bombs or smart missiles they are nevertheless just as lethal. The devil is forming weapons against God's people even as we speak today.
However, we have one great assurance that helps us to face each day. This assurance is the knowledge that no matter what plans, plots, schemes or weapons that Satan devises to be used against us they cannot prevent the unfolding of the will of God. Such weapons will be useless against those who are carrying out the causes of righteousness supported by the power of God himself.
Today, the devil will not be successful with all the plots and plans that are being made against you. Nothing will stop you today from accomplishing God's will if you keep the faith. Do it!
