This past weekend we enjoyed a great youth rally with Brother Donald Scully and his church and in Corinth. His speaker, Brother Glaceau, brought out some great truths concerning how the old devil tries to work us over and destroy us. His purpose is to destroy us, and his plan is to deceive us. He lies in order to bring about our destruction. What kinds of lies has he been using since the Garden of Eden?
He wants us to have wrong thoughts about the God we serve. He want sus to believe that God is holding out on us, and that there is something more we could have, if God were a good God. So he pointed out the forbidden fruit to Eve. When he does this to us, and he does, we must be reminding ourselves of the blessings of God. All Eve had to do was to point out the many good things God had for her and Adam. Like her somtimes we fail to appreciate the things God has given us. I am convinced that one of the major reasons why we are led into sin is ingratitude towards God for what we have. Read Romans 1 and you will find this truth, "Neither were thankful."
The devil wants to discredit the goodness of God. Would you stop and think: God knows all about you and me, yet He loves us more than we could ever earn or deserve. Does that not sound like a good, good God? Would you stop for a moment and give Him some praise? Read Psalm 103 once again. Let's stop buying the devil's lies and begin to exalt our God for His wondrous goodness. God is not holding out on you. He has already given Heaven's best so that you and I could be His children. We serve an awesome God!
