The people tried to constrain him, but chains couldn't hold this demon-possessed man. The demons would drive this man mad as he shed his clothes and dwelt among the dead. Though when Jesus arrived there was no question as to who was in charge. This demon-possessed man had uncontrollable strength, but the demons immediately begged for mercy from Jesus. Man could not control the demoniac or his demons, but the demons knew they could do nothing but obey the Son of Man. I am of course drawn to James 2:19 where is states that...
"You believe that God is one; you do well.
The demons also believe - and they shudder."
I draw great confidence and comfort in my great God when I read that even the most vile of all creatures shudder at the greatness of the Creator. They are aligned against Him, yet they know they are no match for Him. Insanity when you think about it. How great a deceiver Lucifer was and is to have deceived a third of the angels in an attempt to dethrone the Almighty.
How arrogant and ignorant we are when we listen to his deceptive words and are tempted to dethrone the Lord of Lords and King of Kings in our own lives and replace Him with some mere idol. He alone is worthy of our worship and praise.
