Blinded Mind

Proverbs 20:14

The devil would have the world believe that life is worthless—that people are nothing but stardust, the random result of a cosmic explosion caused by nothing. He would have them think that they have no meaning and no purpose. The father of lies feeds nothing but falsehoods to those who are taken captive to do his will. He blinds the minds of those whom he came to kill, steal from, and destroy. And he says of the gospel, “It is good for nothing.” But we know that the Good Shepherd came to save sinners. He came to rescue those who were appointed to die. He saved us not only from the devil, but also from death and hell. Now we make our boast in the Lord. We once thought the gospel was nothing and not worthy of a moment of thought, but now we sing of the mercy of God in Christ and will “boast in the Lord” throughout eternity.
