Flip Wilson got a lot of laughs dressing up as Geraldine, snapping his fingers, and proclaiming, "The devil made me do it and I won't fight the feeling."
One of the greatest tricks the devil ever pulled was convincing us he doesn't exist. Sadly, he does exist and he knows you better than you want him to. He knows your future better than you do. He's your enemy. Just like any competitor, he scouts his opponent and finds ways to exploit weaknesses. He's a crafty so-and-so.
Taking responsibility for one's action is one of the most mature things anyone can do. Every day, you make a conscious choice to do that something wrong. Nothing and no one makes you. It's all on you and your selfish, sinful nature.
Although some people do not give Satan enough credit, most people give him too much. The devil NEVER makes you do it. He may give you every reason and lie why you should. And that's the feeling you should fight. It's easier than you think because you definitely have help. Just look to the hills...(Psalm 121)
