The Devil

To paraphrase C.S. Lewis,
There are two trains of thought that the devil loves. To have a morbid fascination with him or to believe he doesn't exist. Either one serves his purpose.
The devil exists and his temptations are real. He cannot tempt us beyond our ability to resist, but he makes the enticements seem so nice and often good. He rarely tempts us with big things in the beginning, preferring to lure us away gradually, and like the traveller in the sandstorm who let his camel into his tent a bit at time, we will find ourselves out of the tent.

Thought for the day: Take time each day to be grateful for all things big and small.
