The Road to Destruction

The devil never changes his strategy. An object is presented for our consideration. Then while we gaze upon it and consider it, a desire is born in our heart for it. Then a plan is formed to obtain it. Then we obtain it. This is the natural order of things for the good and for the evil. The problem we have is with the desire. We allow the desire to take control of our mind, and truth and reality are shut out while we figure out a way to get what we want. This is our Achille's heal and the devil knows it very well. This is what the Bible is talking about when it says in James 1: "When lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin, and sin, when it is finished bringeth forth death." We must learn that if we are a true child of God, His desires come before ours.
