Reflection on Satan at Work

In Job 1:7, Satan is described as roaming the earth, actively seeking ways to disrupt lives and draw people away from God. This should encourage believers to stay alert. Meaning, that he is not idle but actively seeks to lead people astray, using deception, temptation, and lies.

Ephesians 6:12 reminds us,

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

This verse shows that our real battle is spiritual, not physical, and to combat Satan’s work, believers must put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:11).

This includes daily prayer, reading God’s Word, and relying on the Holy Spirit for guidance.

Satan often attacks when we are weak, distracted, or unprepared, but staying grounded in faith equips us to stand firm.

Today’s theme of “Satan at Work” reminds us of the enemy’s persistence in creating challenges in our lives. However, as believers, we can take comfort in knowing that Jesus has already defeated Satan through His death and resurrection (Colossians 2:15).

Our role is to resist the devil and remain steadfast in God’s promises.

Today, reflect on areas in your life where you feel under attack. Are there moments when fear, doubt, or temptation have crept in? Remember, these are strategies of Satan at Work.

Resist him by drawing closer to God through prayer and His Word. Trust in God’s protection and guidance, knowing He is greater than any challenge the enemy may bring.
