Isaiah reveals Satan’s error in chapter 14. Who else could possibly fit the description given? Only him.

• Fallen from heaven, cast down to the earth
• You (Satan) said,
  • “I will ascend …
  • I will raise ‘MY throne’ above the stars of God
  • I will make myself like the Most High”

The true Christian’s posture is never one of pride and ascent. It is that of humility. God does all the lifting, not us. Beware when leaders lift themselves. Pray they don’t make the same mistakes that God’s enemy did.
