Just as satan wars against God through us, by inciting us to violate God’s commandments and thereby impeding the realization of His will; so does God destroy the sly one’s ruinous plans by assisting us to fulfil His holy will, expressed in His Divine and life-giving commandments. Thus, through human infirmity God suppresses thoughts of theomachy from the enemy.
