If the Lord made known to us all the devil’s lots against us, how shocked and frightened we would be.
When the Lord does reveal to us one of the devil’s plots against us, He does so so that we call on Him.
Proclaiming the Word of God in word and deed is sure to invite a satanic plot against us. Even so, we can’t do anything other than proclaim the Word of God.
Let us commit ourselves to the Lord and trust Him who judges righteously to take vengeance at the right time.
