Friend in High Places: 5-Day DevotionalSample

"I gotta twisted broken story I could tell

Paved the road that leads to hell with stones myself

and I built it all too well"

We all have a twisted broken story we can tell. And the reality is our actions have paved the way, with a stone path that we have built well. The rebellion of the first humans in the Garden of Eden has been passed down through every generation, and we have all done our part in keeping it going.

The weighty part of this is that we will all stand in judgement of what we have done. And the reality is that we are all guilty. And we have no one to blame for this, it is our actions that make us guilty as charged. To make matters worse we have an enemy whose goal is to steal, kill and destroy. His name is Satan, and his name literally means "accuser."

The enemy constantly reminds us of our sin, how we are not worthy to be loved by a Savior, and reminds us of our separation from a Holy God.
