Isaiah 12-14

"How you have fallen from heaven. O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.' But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit."

Above describes the fall of Satan. Just like other angelic beings, he was created to worship and serve God, however, he became very prideful and rebelled against God. Ever since then he's been doing everything he can to tempt and torture human kind. He along with his followers will be judged and condemned forever.

This is such a contrast picture to what Jesus has done. Because of his obedience and humility, he made a way for every man to be saved. And God has lifted him up so that every knee shall bow before him and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord.

God is calling us to live a life of humility. God wants to use us for his purpose and glory, however, he can't do this because often times we are too stubborn, selfish, and prideful. As we go about this day, let us meditate on what Jesus has done for us and pray that God will help us to live a life of humility and sacrifice for him and for the people around us. Let us be a blessing and an instrument of his blessing!
