Ephesians 4:27 (NKJV) nor give place to the devil.
That’s not a very long verse, is it?
But boy does it say a lot! We are not to give place to the devil. What does that mean?
We are not to let the devil have a place in our lives. Not one little, tiny place.
Is that easy to do? Not always. Every second of every day we are faced with making choices.
We have to choose right from wrong. We have to choose whether to give in to temptation or walk away from it. We have to choose whether to say the right thing or the wrong thing. Choices. Lots of them.
But God has commanded us not to give place to the devil. In fact, He has also told us to resist the devil and he will flee from us.
James 4:7 (NKJV) Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
So in the end, we are the ones who ultimately decide whether the devil has a place in our life or not.
Are we to give the devil a place in our lives? No! Is it always easy? No! But can we do it? Yes!
With God’s help and leading we can.
