“AND THEN SATAN LAUGHED!”
I Peter 5:8
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
A seemingly strong Christian begins to read, listen, or watch images that once were totally off limits. If we were to listen in to Satan’s dominion we might here a soft chuckle. This same Christian begins to slip closer and closer to sin and finally crosses the line and violates God’s word. Satan smiles and then he laughs. He knows that he has succeeded in his effort to discredit and destroy.
It is all too common to learn of the moral failure in the life of someone who had once been an example of Christian behavior. The worldly media is quick to jump on these stories and seem to be dedicated to paint all believers with the same brush.
As a Christian Counselor I have often been faced with the daunting task of trying to restore a fallen individual. The scenario always seems to follow the same pattern. It usually starts with the person feeling they deserve a “little fun” in their life and no one will be hurt by it. AND THEN SATAN LAUGHED.
The way to prevent Satan’s laugh is to remain sober (watchful) and vigilant (stand guard). There is never a time-out in serving the Lord. We must at all times keep on keeping on with Jesus!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
