The past couple days we have been looking at Isaiah 14 and the fall of Lucifer.  Look at Isaiah 14:13, “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:”

You will notice in the third “I will” of satan we see, “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:  I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north:”  This is serious stuff here.  He would have literally knocked God off His throne and ruled in His place.  Thankfully for you and I, he is not powerful enough to get this done.  Once again satan is just a defeated foe.

You and I must be careful that we do not fill with pride and remove our Heavenly Father from the throne of our heart and life.  This is easy to do for us.  We think we can do it.  We don’t need God until we get in too deep and we cry like a baby for help.  Don’t do this.  Stay close the the Lord Jesus Christ and pride will not be such a problem for you and I.

So, how are you doing?
