Isaiah 14:12-14

Look how you have fallen from the sky, O shining one, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O conqueror of the nations! You said to yourself, “I will climb up to the sky. Above the stars of El I will set up my throne. I will rule on the mountain of assembly on the remote slopes of Zaphon. I will climb up to the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High!”

Satan wants us thinking, “I will make myself like the Most High.” Genesis 3:2-5 says, “The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ‘You will not certainly die,’ the serpent said to the woman. ‘For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’” Satan's goal has always been our fall. This is the kind of fall that corrupts our hearts and plants evil therein. Satan fell from heaven because He wanted to be God, and that was and is His all-consuming everything. May our hearts be penitent before the Lord. He is far greater than we ever will be.
