Foothold

The word foothold is the Greek word topos where we get our word topography. It describes "(a) place, (or) any portion or space marked off, as it were from surrounding space".

Satan is looking to own a part of your heart (Acts 5:3) and to bite off a piece out of your life (1 Peter 5:8)! The axiom "if you give him an inch he will take a mile" aptly applies to the devil. You must guard every inch of your life lest you end up in his "jaws".
