Today I started Part 1 The Devil, chapter 2 and 3. Chapter Two is Public Enemy Number One. The chapter starts with what would it be like if? It goes into what if everything was perfect, then goes into the characteristics of Satan. The book goes in detail about that his a liar and the father thereof, then the book explains that we don't have to fall for it again, even though we do sadly. I then read chapter 3 cause that 2nd chapter was short. The third chapter is titled The Devil's "Same Old, Same Old", this chapter explains the three methods on how the Devil tempts mankind, by going to the beginning with Adam and Eve. The first method Satan uses is discontent. The Devil wants us to look at what we don't have, but we should look at what we do have, if we do this it will be easier to stay on the path that we on and do the right thing. The 2nd attack once the seed of discontent is planted Satan attacks with disbelief. The book didn't use this example, I'll use it because this was the first thing popped into my head while reading this chapter. In the Old Testament the Jews was about to enter the Promise Land but had to travel in circles in the wilderness for 40 years because of their unbelief. If only they had paid more attention on how much bigger God is, they would have entered the Promise Land sooner. The last attack Satan used with Eve and the rest of mankind is deification. I'm all for taking care of ourselves and all, but it's bad when we make it all about ourselves and start asking the question, what's in it for me? So much so that pride enters into the heart. Discontent, Disbelief, and Deification caused Eve and the rest of mankind to fall, so we should keep a close eye to our own hearts, or we will fall the same way.
