Satan, the little snake.

So as I was writing the previous post, God reminded me of something, and I wanted to share it.

Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by the sin in this world, that I think to myself, 'Well, we all know the end is near, and we all know that sin seems to overcome nearly everyone near the end, so why even try to beat it?'
Now obviously I don't honestly take that to heart and believe it completely. But I do get discouraged often!

But this is what I was reminded of.

Remember in Sunday school when they told Bible stories with all of the pictures? And do you remember when there was the story in the Garden of Eden, when Satan was talking to Eve about eating from the Tree of Life?

Well I was just reminded of how Satan was depicted: a little, weak, cartoon snake.
Now I know that Satan does have a grip on many lives, and he is not as petty as the little cartoon snake from the picture(I'm not ignoring the fact that he is real), but he is not all powerful!

I was also reminded of the song 'Our God' by Chris Tomlin. (Sorry Mrs. Ward, I have no idea if I punctuated that song right. That was one thing I could never learn in English class.)
"And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against? "

The fact that God is all-powerful is not a new revelation. But the image that in all reality, Satan might as well be that little, weak, cartoon snake compared to God was!

Just food for thought; that we (I) should NEVER feel discouraged because of Satan's presence/grasp in our world. Because He is so much more powerful, can and is doing so much more in this world, and does prevail in the end! No matter how much sin I feel like there is in the world!
