OUR PROTECTION

Luke 17:37 - "Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They are birds of prey.  They are also symbol of death.  And wherever you see them gather in a group, expect that they are enjoying a meal - carcass of an animal or body of a man.

Truly disgusting, but this is how the vultures live.  They need to survive, hence, they need to eat.

And the devil is compared to the vultures, that stalk its victim and feast on it, when it's dead.  But the similarity stops there.

The devil hunts its prey, not to eat and live, but to kill its soul and spirit to be forever separated from the Lord God, our Master.

We should take the devil very seriously.  We are to be watchful and vigilant.  Satan is the adversary.  He is the enemy, who despises humanity in general and the followers of Jesus, in particular.

But the good news is that Satan is already defeated!

We have won the battle through the death of Jesus on the cross.  Be firm in our faith and let Jesus protects us.  We can claim the fact that we are beloved of Jesus.  So, seek Him and be with Him so the vultures may not be in our midst anymore.

+ Let us pray:  Almighty Father, I praise You, and I worship You.  I thank You for sending Your Son Jesus Who won victory over the devil, over sin and over death for my salvation.  I thank You, Jesus, for setting me free.  Amen +
