Satan became prideful and thought he could do a better job at being God than God could. Satan was blinded and fought against God. Of course, he lost and was cast out of heaven and down to earth.
Satan was blinded by pride and thought he could rid the earth of God (Jesus) once and for all by executing Jesus. However, he was so blinded that he didn’t realize he was playing right into God’s plan.
Learn from this. Don’t allow pride to blind you. Make no mistake. Pride goes before destruction. If you allow any hint of pride in your life, you are asking for downfall and destruction to follow.
