"Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah." (Psalms 52:3) If you could get inside the mind of Satan, this verse would no doubt fit perfectly with his plan for man. As I have lived in this world as a Christian for these last three decades, I have come to the conclusion that the devil loves evil; not only does he love it, but he spreads it like a plague from city to city, and from country to country. Some will tend to disagree, as they will have different opinions on what is considered evil; but in the end, everything that take man's heart away from the worship of God is evil; everything that causes us to put our love in another direction, other than towards God, is nothing but evil. As if we do not have a choice when it comes to how we live, because we most certainly do. It really does not matter where or how you were raised, at one point of each of our lives, we will be shown the truth, what we do with that truth is what will really matter. Those that follow the way of the lie, they tend to also follow that which is evil; sometimes they might not even know that they are following evil, but think it is good; but sooner or later, there will be a crossroad, one where they will need to choose between what is evil and what is good; and if they are not following the truth, they will choose the wrong road. It might not even be their desire, nor the intention of their heart to follow evil instead of good, but without the desire to love and please God, their desire will go in the way of wickedness. You might not consider that to be a plan, but it is; it may not be man's plan to start with, but man will adopt it as his plan, and he will own it. Initially it is the devils plan; it is his plan to take as many souls with him to hell as he can. My mom would refer to this, by saying, Misery loves company; which may or may not be the cause of his actions, because personally, I think he just loves evil more than good; and it's not because he was created that way, but because he has separated himself from God; and if God is nothing but good, righteousness, light and love, then guess where that puts him...
"Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as if it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and have been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in the day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you." (James 5:1-6)
