Todays Devotion: October 15 A Devilish Crime Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11 Recommended Reading Revelation 12:10-12 When you think of counterfeiting, don’t just think of money. Fraudsters are creating knockoff websites that imitate those of real companies. Customers are tricked into purchasing inferior products on these fraudulent Internet pages, thinking they’re shopping on the genuine website. Counterfeiting in all its forms is a devilish crime. Satan is the original counterfeiter, and his goal is to duplicate everything God has made and to trick us into buying the bogus article. The Bible says of false teachers: “Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works” (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). During the Great Tribulation, the devil, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet will even try to trick the world into following a counterfeit trinity. Satan can imitate God, but he cannot duplicate Him—God is the only One who can deliver us from our pain and suffering. Let’s look to Jesus, put on His armor, and resist the wiles of the devil. No matter how hard Satan tries, he cannot dim the glory of Jesus. People may close their eyes or turn their backs, but neither of those actions reduces Jesus’ divine stature.1 Woodrow Kroll 1Woodrow Kroll, Revelation (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2006), 56.
