We, as human beings, do not have the strength in ourselves to stand against
supernaturally powerful evil angels like Satan and his demons.
We are no match for Satan in our own power. But the Lord does have the
power to defeat Satan and that’s whom we receive our power from.
Notice, in v. 10, it says “in the Lord and in his mighty power.”
“In the Lord” means “in union with the Lord.” “To
be strong in union with the Lord,” means “to receive spiritual
strength from the Lord in our battle with Satan.” “His mighty
power” refers to all God’s omnipotent and infinite power that
He possesses. This means “Don’t flex your muscles, flex God’s
muscles.”
God has unlimited power, Satan has limited power. God’s might is
infinite. In Job 42:2, Job says, “I know that you can do anything
and that no purpose of yours can be withheld from you.”
God is sovereign over Satan and rules over all his activities.
