Light of the World

"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14.
No wonder we want to do all the things God wouldn't want us to, Satan makes them seem so good and fun. Come on....Adam and Eve had been in the Garden and had seen the fruit of the Tree, but Satan made the apple seems so big, juicy, and good for them. He told them that not only would it taste delicious, but it would give them great sight to see as God does and gain them a wisdom unsurpassable. Then Eve began thinking, like any other woman, isn't wisdom from God, didn't He say he would provide delicious food for us, isn't the sight of Him great, what could be so bad?
What do you think? What could be so bad to eat this piece of fruit? It seems so good!
GOD SAID DO NOT EAT! What makes it bad is that God knows what is best for us. He put the tree there in the first place to make sure we would be faithful to Him. We failed because Satan masqueraded as an angel of light and made it seem so good.
Do not allow Satan to disguise bad things as good. Don't let him bring false light to darkness. We need to be fully aware of the things that he makes seem so good, but are truly bad. We need to pray that the Holy Spirit brings us Wisdom and Discernment to see through Satan's schemes. In fact, we also need to be aware of how He makes good things become bad.
For instance, the internet, a place to learn, a place to communicate with efficiency, a place to get work done, a great piece of technology. But Satan got His hand on the good of the internet and spoiled it. He ruins marriages by bringing porn to the touch of a finger, by inableing people to have online affairs; he teaches us to rely on it for all communication instead of face to face interaction; he taunts children into using it to post cruel things and to reveal their bodies to the world. Satan brought his darkness to a good thing.
Just be aware of where Satan lurks. Don't fall into his grip. Stand firm in God's Word because He is the true light of the world. "Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD." Isaiah 2:5.
