A common misconception with being of Christ is that He stands in front of the tribulation Satan has for us and protects us from it, but personally I believe often times God says ‘do your best Satan. They will allow my spirit to be their spirit’s fortress – not only will they emerge from this unscathed, but with further understanding of their weaknesses and My strength.’
The trials of this life are not to make us stronger - in reality quite the opposite - but they’re to better our understanding of His strength. If we could grasp that the picture of perfection for those in Christ is for the things of the physical to be in absolute upheaval, but the Spirit preserved with supernatural strength, we could then hand Satan that porcelain vase of pride and say - have at it; you cannot damage His spirit in me.
