It is always the job of the best destroyers of society to make the to-be-destroyed think there isn’t a plan or ulterior motive. That has relevance to the axiom “the smartest thing the Devil has done is to convince humanity that he does not exist.”
I think we do not want to over estimate the cleverness of even the devil, let alone man. He can’t erase divine wisdom. He only breaks himself in the attempt. The responsibility remains with man not to give himself to the con game, no matter what the con game. Looking at something like this and swooning “The devil! The devil!” is what the devil wants. The devil is already whipped in Christ.
The point is we don’t benefit to become over engrossed with the devil. We should exalt the Lord who is higher than any of this other noisome stuff, and allow Him to deal with the devil, watching Him do so in our lives and cooperating as He acts.
Pouring out mortal sweat about the devil is one of the worst mistakes we can make. He bewitches us if our sight is not kept on God.
