Satan
fears virtue. He is terrified of humility; he hates it. He sees a
humble person and it sends chills down his back. His hair stands up when
Christians kneel down, for humility is the surrender of the soul to
God. The devil trembles before the meek because in the very areas where
he once had access, there stands the Lord, and Satan is terrified of
Jesus Christ.
Who Truly Are You Fighting?
You will remember that, at the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, the judgment of God against the devil was that he should eat dust (Gen. 3:14). Remember also that God said of man, "You are dust" (v.19). The essence of our carnal nature -- of all that is carnal in nature -- is dust. We need to see the connection here: Satan feeds upon our earthly, carnal nature of "dust." Satan dines on what we withhold from God.
