Hey all, I was thinking the other day about the depravity of us humans. The sin that we are all caught up in, the lies, the deceit, the backstabbing, and the selfishness. How in the hell did we get like this? How did we stray so far from walking with our Creator in a simple garden, hand in hand, absolutely free?
There is a beautiful image in the bible when we are told that the serpents head will be crushed by the heel of the Messiah. Beautiful? All the blood and chunks of skull and pieces of brain? Beautiful? Yes, beautiful. Recently I have been experiencing the repercussions of someone's sin that is relatively close to me and I have come to hate Satan. Before, I didn't like him, you know, but when he starts messing with people and situations that are close to your heart, you want to kill him. Never before have I prayed to be apart of crushing Satan's head, but that is an everyday prayer now.
It's funny you know. I probably sound like a crazy lune who needs some anti-depressants and a couple day gettaway at the local psyche ward. But I think that we, as Christians, have got to wake up and smell the coffee. Satan is real, he does exist. And while I know he is not all powerful, all knowing, and all present, he is the best deceiver of them all. All he has to do is get one little lie in our heads and the rest is up to us to screw up. So be watchful, because Satan stalks about, roaring, waiting to see who he can devour.
Pray that you, too, can crush his head.
