SATAN IS BUSY
"SATAN IS BUSY"
More than a few disputes, even fights, have been generated around someone's perception of another's thoughts, i.e., she thinks she's cute;" or as in "he thinks he's all of that."
Knowing one's own thoughts is difficult enough, by itself, to have to concern one's self with another person's thinking!
"7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee."
Proverbs 23:7
None but God knows a person's thoughts, as it states in Jeremiah 17:9, " the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure; who can know it?"
Guile and deceit in the heart comes out of the mouth to the ear, or from paper to the eye, or their equivalents. So, do not accept uncritically what is said by anyone, without first inquiring into its merits for yourself!
Above all, see what they, those bold speakers and writers, do and have done historically on that subject!
"Satan is busy," the old folks used to say!
Would that that those who think that they are "righteous" were as busy!
