A bird chases another by flying behind, just below and at a slight distance.  It remains in this position so that it can follow with the hope that its enemy will make a mistake.  And it flys below so that it can remain out of sight of the other bird.

So it is with satan.  He travels behind us in our blind spot.  He is waiting for us to forget that he is there.  He’s waiting for us to relax our grip on truth.  And when we do, the second stage of his work begins. 

By His grace.
