CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

In John 12:31 Jesus refers to Satan as the ruler of this world. Paul said in Ephesians 6:12 that we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world. As I read verse 1 of this chapter in Proverbs it is apparent that on a regular basis, the ruler of this world sets very enticing plates before us. Lets be real, most food items that people consider to be delicacies carry a high price tag but taste horrible. In fact sometimes it doesn't even make sense that people would even eat things that are as gross as they are. What's the point? We sometimes leave the table of the King of Kings to dine at Satan's table (the ruler of this world), because he offers what seemingly is a high priced delicacy. Even though we are in this world, we are not to be of this world. Satan will continually entice you to indulge yourself. The unfortunate reality is you will pay a high price for something that looked good but had a horrible aftertaste.

I would encourage you to let Jesus make the recommendations off of life's menu. You will never be disappointed.

Bon Appetite,
