"The Evil One" gets too much attention

in #christianity7 years ago (edited)

We are humans. We are sinners. We lack perspective. Satan has become a focus of our own failures. All too often we focus our hardships and failures at the attack from "the evil one." All too often we rebuke satan from a situation. I believe the focus needs to be on reality.

We have all but destroyed this planet with our selfishness and apathy towards it. We ingest chemicals and drive long distances and use all manners of waves and frequencies to communicate. We are fat, unfocused, and selfish. We humans create so many problems for ourselves. Stop giving satan the credit. It's probably our own fault.

It's as if to say that satan is the root of our lack of faith and concern for self. Look in a mirror. It's you.

Jesus loves you. Ask for his will. Don't beat yourself or others up. Don't look to place blame. Own the situation. Then own the plan that you will walk moving forward. Be with the Holy Spirit. Worship. Communicate. Love. Reflect.
