"Satan himself is transformed into (or disguised as) an angel of light."-2 Corinthians 11:14
Satan uses many different ways to deceive people, and to lead them away from God. One method he employs is to pretend he represents God, bringing truth and light from God In reality, he brings error and darkness. John 8:44

What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall He teach in the way that he shall choose. (Psalm 25:12)
IT is not for us to supervise the trials and difficulties which may beset us. It is for us to make an unreserved consecration of ourselves to the Lord and then leave to Him the decision of how great shall be our trials and besetments--how great our sacrifices in following His leadings. The Lord may see that some need special trials more than others, and those things which to some would be great trials and imply great sacrifices, to others, because of greater love for the Lord and His cause, and greater zeal for service, the sacrifice might be, as the apostle expresses it of his own, "light afflictions, which are but for a moment, and which are working out a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory."

When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it. Ecclesiastes 5:4
WHOEVER has not seen his need of making resolutions, making vows to the Lord, has not recognized the first principle of Christian development. He who finds from the enemy's attack where his wall is weakest, and who then repairs the weak places as quickly as ascertained, does so by resolution to the Lord--by vows. He who has not discovered any weaknesses in his character is duly blind and "cannot see afar off." He who has not attempted to correct his weaknesses by resolutions to the Lord, vows to the Lord, has not begun that character development which must be completed before he can be pronounced an overcomer.
