The main issue that spurred the conflict between God and Satan was agency. It is the very thing over which the war in heaven was fought- and we are still fighting that war.
We have got to remember that Satan is always on the job. He takes no time off - no sick leave and no vacation. He is continually waging a war that he thinks he can win . . . but he can't, so he will leave as many casualties as he can. Satan destroys souls every minute and second of the day. He is a master strategist because he never gives up. And if we let our guard down for even a second, he will take an accounting of our weaknesses and do all he can to crush us. Each and every time we give into a weakness, we give the adversary a leg-up in the battle.
Satan has his own playbook with his own set of rules, and just as the Savior knows each of us, so do he, and he knows how to draft new players. We must not join his team, and we must not give away the precious gift God gave us.
Because no matter how good the captain of darkness is at his job, the King of Heaven is a far better leader. And He will always win in the end.
Have an amazing day!
