Today's Treasure: "In order that satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes." -2 Corinthians 2:11
The bible uses the word 'cunning' and 'deceiver' to describe Satan. Although these may be appropriate descriptive words, if you are aware of his schemes, as today's treasure states, then he will not outwit you. It's interesting to sit down and think of generational bondages that we all have, that we never truly noticed before. Maybe we just described out families as dysfunctional etc, but in light of this bible study, it goes a lot deeper than that. We've all complained about our mothers/fathers, whether they were absent or present in our lives, at some point or another. Unfortunately, a lot of those behaviors that we complain about, are behaviors we exhibit as well. Although, satan is like a lion, looking for someone to devour, if we know God, and His truth, no matter how "normal" something may be in our life, or the life of our families, we can pick up on the subtleties, and look to God to break those chains in our lives, and in the lives of future generations.
Question 1:What is Satan's role in every human going astray? (Refer to Revelations 12:9)
Question 2: What behavior might you see in your life that you disliked in your parents or grandparents?
