Smarter Than Thou… Satan is far more intelligent than we are. He has been on his job since before man was created planning how he would corrupt us. He entices us with sex, money, fame, and any other of our vices or evil desires. He is smarter than we are because he is always aware of the enticing value evil has on us. He also knows we usually ignore it. Things that happen lightning fast, or something that becomes suddenly available to us that seems to be perfect for us, or just at the right time, is usually one of the many temptations he lays out in front of us. Why is someone who is good at fooling or deceiving others called “a tricky devil?” Where do you think that nickname comes from? Have you ever met someone who was slick? They’re modeling after the devil’s wile and gile. The devil's deception appears through all kinds of people. All of his temptations bait us with our own desires. If we follow the temptation we sin. It's that simple. We like it, he lays it in front of us. We grab it. We sin. He really does nothing other than lay out the thought. We do the rest. The devil is very slick. With people, when we know they are slick, their slickness has lost its effectiveness. This is not true when Satan is slick. He will get us many times. But, we can’t blame Satan, it's his function. That's what he does. Adam and Eve took his bait then tried to blame their sin on him. It didn't work in their times, and, blaming others for our wrongs does not work in our times. You are responsible for your own actions, nobody else is. You followed your own wickedness and evil desires into the sin you committed. It doesn’t matter who laid a trap, you walked into it on your own free will and accord. You made the decision knowing it was wrong and did it anyway. Admit your fault, shut up and repent. God will forgive you. But, just because He forgives you does not relieve you of the consequence of the sin. |
