Tamed

Until Jesus comes again, we will still face threats of spiritual attack. But there’s an important way to distinguish these continued threats from the ones we would face without Jesus: they have been tamed. It’s like wild animals that have been domesticated to live with humans as pets or to survive in a zoo or a farm. They still exist, they have many of the same characteristics, but they have been tamed in order to make coexistence safer for the humans involved. There will come a day when these attacks will be defeated forever, but for now we can take hope in knowing that they can not conquer us and they cannot separate us from God’s love.
