devil looks after his ownProv. Evil people are often prosperous or well taken care of. (Implies that they must be getting their prosperity from the devil, since they are not earning it by being good and deserving.) Jane: I don't understand why the corner store is still in business. They cheat everybody! Alan: Well, the devil looks after his own.

.......what are you peoples thoughts on this old saying?

It doesn't sound very Biblical, does it .. It seems to me that it's God who does the "looking after" of His own AND Satan's own. God cares for ALL of His creatures ..

“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, and hate your enemy.’ “But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." Matthew 5:43-45​

"We have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers." 1 Timothy 4:10​

Yours and His,
David

Dear ihavefoundgod951. What does the devil like? Everything evil, but Satan runs away from Love. That is simple and straight forward.
Jesus gave us wonderful news to resist the devil every time. Use our greatest weapon: " Love God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds. ALSO: Love our neighbour as we love ourselves." Love will send the devil FLEEING AND STAYING AWAY. Love will protect us from Satan and all his hordes. Love is a Christian`s strong weapon, love holds Satan at bay.
Love is our strong weapon to fight Satan and all satanic beings. God and His Love will keep us safe from the devil, we do not belong to Satan. It is however a fact, Satan will look after his own.
I say this with love, ihavefoundgod. Greetings from Emmy, our sister in Christ

I love this post and I agree with all of it 100%, as John Lennon sang "all you need is love"
Love indeed is a very strong weapon, also coupled with our armor (Gods word) this recipe is impenetrable.

Im loving your posts Emily, keep them coming.

God bless
