Today prove Satan wrong and obey the Lord through your trials. You’ll shut Satan’s mouth!
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. When God points to his servant Job as a man who loves and follows Him, Satan has something to say about it. He scoffs at God, He says, “Why shouldn’t [Job trust you]? …You’ve always protected him and his home and his property from harm. You’ve prospered everything he does—look how rich he is! No wonder he worships you! But you take away his wealth, and you’ll see him curse you to your face, God!” To me, those words from the devil are fighting words. And they motivate me to trust God all the more, and I hope you feel the same. For you and I in our hardships have a special role to play in shutting the mouth of Satan. When the devil insists that God’s people only serve Him when things are easy and good, well, guess what? We can prove Satan wrong. So today, trust and obey the Lord through your trials. When you do, you’ll be shutting Satan’s mouth.
