The Bible is full of example after example describing our adversary, Satan the devil. Satan desires that we miss out on all that God desires to give us and he will always try to disrupt the relationship with have with God. In 2 Corinthians 2:11 the apostle Paul says that Christians must be on guard against Satan "lest [he] should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices." We must be aware that we are not immune against Satan's down in the dumps D's and that he will use doubt, discouragement, deception, delay, and defeat to disrupt our relationship with God.
