Satan’s biggest target is the Word of God. He wants people to rationalize themselves into disobedience by misinterpreting verses or taking them out of context to support their sinful lifestyle and sinful attitudes. Once the devil gets people to doubt the validity of any part of the Bible or to declare those parts irrelevant or outdated, he gets a stronghold on their lives from which he can cause them to sin. He’s always ready to interject his ideas into our minds and lead us astray by convincing us that there will be no consequences for sin. When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, He always responded the same way by saying, “It is written,” followed by a passage of Scripture (Matthew 4:1-11). God’s commands are not given to keep us from something good but to protect us from the self-destruction that sin brings on us. You can be assured that Satan is interested in persuading faithful Christians to question and doubt God’s word. He is actively engaged in creating discouragement and dissatisfaction in our lives. Have you been listening to his schemes, has he drawn you into dissatisfaction with the Bible, or the Church or other brothers and sisters. Don’t let Satan get a hold of your thoughts. (James 4:7,10) “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” God Bless -Todd
