Then the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all animals, domestic and wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as you live. And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel." Genesis 3:14-15 NLT
The devil fired the first shoot in his war against this world and against humanity—and he scored a direct hit when Adam and Eve sinned, bringing death, suffering, and destruction into the human experience.
Since that terrible day, Satan has enjoyed his heyday on this earth, and he’s still mostly having his way in this world. But his time is short—he knows it, we who search the scriptures know it, and, best of all, God knows it.
Jesus, the one referred to as a woman’s “offspring,” came to earth to die the horrific death of a common criminal so that our sins could be forgiven so that we could be reconciled to our all-holy Creator. And one day, He will return and make all things new (Revelation 21:5).
Prayer: Lord Jesus, it can be disheartening to look around me and see the horrible effects of sin on this world. But You promised back in the garden that Jesus would one day destroy the works of the devil. I take comfort and encouragement in that promise.
