God is the creator. Everything that exists is from God. God is in all and through all. So if all that exists has been created by God then the only thing that Satan has is God’s. Satan has created nothing. Satan can only distort what God has made. Everything sinful therefore, is a distortion of something holy that God created.
When I am in sin, would it not be helpful to ask why am I doing this and what am I really wanting? For example if I am in traffic, and I am impatient and cussing and angry, where is that coming from. Well if I think about it, when I am in traffic, I am trying to get somewhere. I am separated from where I want to be. And I am not in control. I can only do what my car allows and I have to obey the traffic laws. And I may get a red light or it may be green. I may pick the slower lane. My lane might stop while other lanes keep moving. The person in front of me might drive slower than I want to go. There are so many unknowns that I am not in control of.
But what is holy is waiting. Are we not all waiting for the Lord to return? Trusting. Are we not all having to trust God? Even when God seems to be slow and not doing things the way we want. Is it not Holy to trust and not try to control. Faith. Are there not unknowns that happen in life everyday? Doesn’t it seem like others are getting ahead and I’m stuck. Sometimes its someone else’s fault. Traffic could be an experience and opportunity to practice holiness.
