“The Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of men” (Daniel 4:17).
It is a great comfort to know that God is sovereign. It gives strength
in the midst of the conflict. It’s an unequal conflict - God’s Kingdom
will prevail over the kingdom of Satan.
We must not, however, doubt that Satan will provide determined
opposition - “false prophets ... false teachers ... will bring the way
of truth into disrepute” (2 Peter 2:1-2).
However fierce the conflict may be, we have this assurance: “The Lord
knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous
for the Day of judgment” (2 Peter 2:9).
In the heat of the battle, we must never forget what we are fighting
for and who we are fighting for - ‘To be the best that I can be for
truth and righteousness and Thee.” In this battle, the Lord Himself
fights with us and for us. He enables us to maintain His standard. He
keeps us from dropping down to the level of the world’s standards. “The
righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such
concern” (Proverbs 29:7).
