Sureness of Shortness

"The devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time" (Revelation 12:12).

Surely the devil is busy today,
Knowing he has but a very short time.
Shouldn't we therefore be watchful and pray,
And fervently work in our calling sublime?

Now doesn't it seem just a little bit odd,
While Satan is active and surely aware,
That we would be drowsy and lukewarm for God,
Halfhearted in labor and sleepy in prayer?
