It's an assignment of the enemy to keep us blind. We are deceived because we don't see the path. The lamp of God that was designed to guide our path has been overshadowed by the bright light of distraction. Lucifer is a Latin word, literally meaning "light-bearer" He still uses his evil light to get us off the path.
It looks good. It even feels good for a season. It satisfies the flesh for the moment. But in the end it's empty. A flash in the Pan. Then the search for the path light resumes. It takes longer. His lamp unto our feet is still there but the glare of other things takes our eyes off the way.
It's not just about sin, although, sin will cause us to have our eyes darkened. It's not just about business and activity that diverts. It's about the besetting of ourselves. Besetting that knocks us off our quest.
It's less than His best for us. His pure light is all we need. It will guide and lead. It will expose the diversions of the enemy. It will keep us from falling into darkness. Our only job is to know HIM. He is the only true light. All other, no matter how bright are angels of light on assignment to mislead you or ME into outer darkness.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (New Living Translation)
These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.
Stay focused, watch for the pathway lamp, keep your eyes on Jesus and ask him for more light. He will show himself strong. Because he is the Light.
1 John 5b-7
God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
