Satan is always active

In a little book called the Gospel in Genesis, Henry Law, nineteenth century preacher wrote about Satan's ceaseless ministry of mischief.

"He never slumbers, never is weary, never relents, never abandons hope. He deals his blows alike at childhood's weakness, youth's inexperience, manhood's strength and the tottering of age. He watches to ensnare the morning thought. He departs not with the shades of night. By his legions he is everywhere, at all times. he enters the palace, the hut, the fortress, the camp, the fleet he invests every chamber of every dwelling, every pew of every sanctuary. He is busy with the busy. He hurries about with the active. He sits by each bed of sickness and whispers into each dying ear. As the spirit quits the tenement of clay, he still draws his ow with unrelenting rage."

How true! But we need not be defeated. One of the most encouraging verses is 1 Corinthians 10: 13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
