While the Marvel multiverse certainly has its fair share of villains bent on ruling their respective worlds, Galactus is in a class of his own… he isn’t here to conquer worlds, but to devour them. His massive size and nearly unmatched power makes him one of the most fearsome opponents of all time, so when his “Silver Surfer” shows up to announce his impending arrival the response is usually fear, panic, and a grim acceptance of the inevitable outcome. But Galactus is NOT invincible… his need to feed betrays his greatest weakness. If it requires more energy for him to consume a planet than he possesses, he will be forced to withdraw and search for an easier target… starving him out is the key to victory.

One of our enemy’s primary tactics in his mission to steal, kill and destroy is to send us a “Silver Surfer” of bad news to overwhelm our minds, redirecting us to focus on our fear and deplete our faith before the battle even starts. But these “scare tactics” expose his greatest weakness… he needs to move our attention off of Christ to gain the upper hand. No matter what “news” we receive today, let’s view it as the intimidation tactic it truly is… even if the news is true, it isn’t time to panic. It is time to pray, starve out that fear with faith, and prepare to resist. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world 🙂

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 1 Peter 5:8-9

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
