"Do not love the world nor the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world--
the lust of the flesh and
the lust of the eyes
and the boastful pride of life--is not from the Father
but is from the world.
And the world is passing away
and also its lusts;
but the one who does the will of God
lives forever."
Temptation always looks new and exciting, promising real satisfaction. In reality, it is only the wrinkly old whore (Rev. 19:1-2) of sin dressed in the latest fashions. There's nothing new under the sun.
Genesis 3:6
"So when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food,and that it was
a delight to the eyes,and that the tree was
to be desired to make one wise,she took of its fruit and ate,
and she also gave some to her husband who was with her,
and he ate."
Satan wants you to think he's fashion forward -- and maybe he is. But we should know better than to think that the clothes make the (wo)man. They just hide her age-old saggy sinful self. May the Lord give us eyes to see through the deceitfulness of Satan's fashion designs.
