Satan Triumphs at His Ruinous Work
—Satan exults to see
the human family plunging themselves deeper, and deeper, into
suffering and misery. He knows that persons who have wrong habits,
and unsound bodies, cannot serve God so earnestly, perseveringly,
and purely as though sound. A diseased body affects the brain.
With the mind we serve the Lord. The head is the capital of the
body.... Satan triumphs in the ruinous work he causes by leading the
human family to indulge in habits which destroy themselves, and
one another; for by this means he is robbing God of the service due
Him.—.
