In Luke 10:19, Jesus shares a powerful truth:
“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”
When Jesus talks about trampling on snakes and scorpions, He’s using metaphorical language to depict the spiritual battles we face.
Snakes and scorpions represent the forces of evil, the temptations, and the adversities that seek to harm us.
Jesus assures us that we have been equipped with authority and power to overcome them. It’s a reminder that in Christ, we are not helpless victims, but victorious conquerors.
As followers of Jesus, we have access to His authority and His strength. We are not alone in our struggles, for God is with us, empowering us to face every challenge that comes our way.
Today, if you find yourself facing spiritual battles, remember the authority that has been given to you. Take a moment to pray and engage the battle with the full assurance that:
“Greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4
