24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden. ~ Revelation 2:24
In the Garden of Eden, the Serpent lured Eve with the promise of unknown knowledge. No more restraints. Total freedom from God and from limitation. And in return for this knowledge, I believe it was their souls that Satan, that Ancient Serpent bought.
Today nothing has changed. Satan is still selling forbidden knowledge, and people are still exchanging their souls for it. Sometimes it’s not even forbidden knowledge that he’s offering, but just a shortcut to that knowledge. When we replace God with our job, it’s like we are giving our soul up in order to move forward in our job.
We can’t allow ourselves to put anything above our God. We can’t seek the rewards of the world above the things of God. There are still two trees planted in front of us. Which one will you wat from?
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Indulge In Life.
