As a disclaimer, I know this idea is not original to me, but it just clicked for me tonight, and I feel that it’s worth sharing.
When you feel the most spiritually attacked, it’s probably because you’re in the best position for growth. The enemy, Satan, wants only to steal, kill, and destroy, so if he sees the potential for blessing and growth, he’ll do his worst to keep it from becoming a reality. But, let me clarify: he does not see the future, at least not perfectly. He just sees enough potential to give him reason for concern–and that’s a good thing. That means that you’re in a position to grow in Christ; don’t let Satan drag you down again.
For, though Satan is more powerful than we are, God is more powerful than He is, and His power is in us, according to Ephesians. Find encouragement in that thought. And when you feel a battle beginning in your soul, surrender it to the One who has already won the war. It may just be time for us to grow a little.
