Watching Out for Satan

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 11: [14] And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Observation: I need to be careful because sometimes things seem to look good, but there not. I’ve been led astray with the combination of something seeming good and my desires to do it. If it was obviously not right I would turn from it, but Satan is clever and He knows how to push my buttons.

Application: Just because something appears to be okay doesn’t mean it is. I need to pray about it, ask myself why I want it. If it comes back as a selfish reason and not God honoring I need to back away. My purpose is to point others to Christ, help others, be a good steward and servant if the decisions in my life are not focused around these things, they’re wrong.

Prayer: My Lord keep me away from Satan schemes and open my eyes to your desires.
