“…Neither give place to the devil.” (Ephesians 4:27)
The devil will take all of you that you will give him but will not be satisfied until you give him a little more. He will convince you that one lustful glance will not hurt anything. Then he will convince you that a longer look will be alright. Being dissatisfied that you only looked he will convince you that a phone call or secret meeting will not hurt anything. He is very subtle.
The devil will convince you that one little step off the Godly path will do no harm. How far from the devil’s desire must one live to avoid his snares, his grip and the ruin of one’s life and testimony? It has been said, “Give the devil an inch and he will be your ruler.”
To avoid the devil’s ensnarement of your life walk close to God. Pray. Read and study God’s Word. Be obedient to the Lord. The closer you walk with the Lord the harder it is for Satan to take control. Never give place to the devil.
