Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
We each have a call/commission from the Lord. The enemy will try to take us out or seek to destroy that call/commission, even as he did with Joseph. But God used all that was brought against Joseph by the enemy through his brothers, Potiphar's wife, etc. to train him. God used all these things that were thrown at him to prepare him and get him in the right place, at the right time to fulfill his calling of saving many. Joseph was able to save his family, the nation of Israel.
Genesis 45:4-8 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 5Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. 6For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. 7And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 50:19-20 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 20But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Whatever the enemy throws at people God can use it for good. Like one big chess match, satan makes a move declaring, "Check," but God always has a counter move to block what the enemy had planned. The enemy never gets to declare, "Check mate!" But there is coming a day when God will declare, "Check mate!" That will be the end of satan's work as he is bound in chains in the bottomless pit.
Revelation 20:1-3 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Remember satan is no match for God. They are not on a level playing field. God wins every time. God created satan and has full authority over him.
