How God Created Lucifer [2]

Tuesday 4th August 2020 Devotion
Scripture:- Isaiah 14:1-24
Topic:- How God Created Lucifer [2]
Text:- 14:12

Only God knew what was going on in Lucifer’s heart. The angel, who had been created to be the bearer of light, was divorcing in thoughts of the kind Creator who, in an effort to prevent disaster, begged to remain by His side.
A tremendous struggle began to lock inside. The desire to know the meaning of darkness was immense, yet, the pleas of that loving Father, whom he did not want to lose, tortured him. Seeing the suffering that his attitude caused to the Creator, he sometimes showed repentance, but fell again.
Before creating the Universe, God had already foreseen the possibility of a rebellion. The risk of granting freedom to the creatures was immense, but without this gift, life would be meaningless.
The Eternal did not want to reign over robots, programmed to do only His will. He wanted obedience to be the result of recognition and love, so he decided to take the big risk. Although he continued to search for the meaning of darkness, Lucifer did not intend to abandon the light.
He struggled to reach a combination between those parts that, in the Eternal kingdom, coexisted separately. Finally, with a feeling of exaltation, he conceived a deceptive theory, which he intended to present to the Universe as a new system of government, superior to the Eternal’s government.
He called his theory “the science of good and evil.” Structured in logic, the science of good and evil proved attractive to Lucifer’s eyes, seeming to reveal a sense of life superior to that offered by the Creator, whose kingdom enabled only experimental knowledge of good.
In the new system, there would be a balance between good and evil, between love and selfishness, light and darkness.
Throughout the time when the science of good and evil matured in his mind, Lucifer would know how to keep it a secret in front of the Universe.
He continued in his position of honor, fulfilling the function of Bearer of Light. However, as much as he tried to pretend, his countenance no longer revealed joy in serving the Eternal.
The divine King, who suffered in silence, sought, through His revelations of love, to prepare the rational creatures for the great approach that was approaching.
He knew that many would listen to temptation, turning his back. The night of the test would make the true faithful stand out, however – those who served the Creator not for interest, but for love.
Seeing that the time of the test was coming, and that Lucifer was ready to betray him before the Universe, the Eternal, who had never ceased to reveal the treasures of his wisdom, became silent and contemplative.
Silence revived the memory of that first sidereal excursion in the heart of the hosts, when, after showing them the riches of the kingdom of light, God became silent before that abyss.
They remembered His words: “All the treasures of light will be open to your knowledge, except the secrets hidden by darkness. You are free to serve me or not.
Loving the light you will be bound to the source of life. Lucifer, who He had begun to covet the throne of God, inquired about the motive of His silence.
The Creator, contemplating it with infinite sadness, said: “The hour of darkness has come. You are free to carry out your purposes.”

Prayer Point:- I refuse to follow the advice of Satan, no, never in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Have A Wonderful Tuesday!
