Genesis 3:4 The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! 5 “For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Ever since the beginning, Satan made it seem like we were missing out on something better. Satan made Eve think she was missing out on being like God. Praise God we are no longer ignorant of Satan’s traps. The same trick Satan used in the Garden of Eden is the same trick he is still using today.

How many times have we desired to do or have been doing the will of God and Satan made it seem like we’re missing out on something else?

For instance, the Holy Spirit instructs us to read the Word of God. Immediately after those instructions, Satan will make it seem like we would miss out on watching a TV show.

We may have the desire to go to church on Sunday, but Satan will make it seem like we’re missing out on some much needed rest.

We may be compelled to give an over and above offering at church, but Satan will make it seem like we’re missing out on saving that money for something else.

At times, those tricks seem very logical and convincing. Our responsibility is to identify the enemy in our thoughts and realize that anything that has us going against the voice and the Word of God is a deception.

Take control of your thoughts, don’t be deceived, and do the will of God.
