Lamentations 3:21 This I recall to my mind therefore have I hope. 22 It’s because of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness.
Although devils are fallen angels, they do retain a sizeable advantage over human beings as far as the intellectual, physical, and spiritual capabilities go. In fact, were it not for the restraining power of God in the world, they would be capable of bringing to the Christian, temptations of such severity and accuracy as to threaten the Christian’s very existence.
[The Great Controversy pp 517] The power and malice of Satan and his host might justly alarm us, were it not that we may find shelter and deliverance in the superior power of our Redeemer. We carefully secure our houses with bolts and locks to protect our property and our lives from evil men; but we seldom think of the evil angels who are constantly seeking access to us, and against whose attacks we have, in our own strength, no method of defense.
If permitted, they can distract our minds, disorder, torment our bodies, destroy our possessions and our lives. Their only delight is in our misery, and destruction. Fearful is the condition of those who resist the divine claims, and yield to Satan's temptations, until God gives them up to the control of evil spirits. But those who follow Christ are ever safe under his watch-care. Angels that excel in strength are sent from Heaven to protect them. The wicked one cannot break through the guard which God has stationed about his people.
Revelation 12: 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath because he knows that he has but a short time.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
