Cali
So close yet so far away.
I no longer possess this fish aquarium, but it's not because the cat ate the fish. Try as she might, she couldn't get her paws into the water, and even if she could the fish were too small and the water too deep for her to get a snack.
However, this didn't stop her from trying or often sleeping close to her prey (I think she also liked the warmth of the light on her belly).
For many reasons, we struggle with the idea of Satan and the presence of demonic forces. For most people these are entities that make for good horror movies but in our scientific worldview, there is no room for what we cannot see.
"Keep your mind clear, and be alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion as he looks for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8 God's Word to the Nations
Satan's greatest tool is to get us to live in denial of his existence, however his presence is real and his desire is simple: To pull us away from the Lover of our souls, Jesus Christ.
The aquarium protected the fish from Cali. The very person that Satan wants us to deny is our protection from him.
