That's not what he looks like

Have you ever tried to picture someone you have never met? Maybe you hear someone on the radio or talk to someone on the phone and you get a visual image of the person. Later, though, you finally meet the person and they don't look anything like you had envisioned.

You ever think about what satan looks like? Of course, we know the images displayed of him being a red creature with a pitch fork and bifurcated tail. He has horns on his head, an evil voice, and just has this sinister aura all around him. Is that he image you get?

Today's word is just a reminder about sin and the father of all sin. It says, "The devil doesn't come dressed in a red cape and pointed horns. He comes as everything you've ever wished for..."

There's an old song by Terri Gibbs that says, "Somebody's knocking. Should I let him in? LORD, it's the devil. Would you look at him? I've heard about him but I never dreamed, he'd have blue eyes and blue jeans." If satan approached us looking like the image we have of him, no one would give him a chance. However, he approaches us looking exactly like the very thing we have wished for all our lives.

Be careful when evaluating what is presented you. Be sure you pray about it and seek GOD'S guidance and approval. Make sure what you see is what is actually what you see. Satan walks about disguising himself as the very desire of our sinful, natural heart. He can't tempt us if we allow JESUS to fill that void. Don't be deceived, thinking satan is easily distinguishable - that's not what he looks like.

Be Blessed,
