Seeing things differently


Or you may just be having melons for desert; watermelons that is.  Besides, who wants lemons anyway?  Aside from my normal slant on things, being dyslexic is a disability and no fun.  Life must be difficult for those with this problem and I hope that each and every person who has it can get better or completely cured.  But, I wonder, what if some wanted to see things in a contrary manner; just because!!!!  Immediately, I thought of this passage in the scriptures...

WEB: Job Chapter 1
[6] Now it happened on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan also came among them. [7] Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”

[8] Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”

[9] Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? [10] Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. [11] But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”

I have read that Satan was the first of the angels and was the one called the "bringer of light".  As such, he was one important angel.  But, he had a problem; pride.  Because of the this, he chose to oppose God and be contrary.  He CHOSE to see things differently!!!  He didn't have dyslexia, but he did have a problem and that problem was sin!!!  Eventually, it led to rebellion and his current war against God.   He led other angels in rebellion and seeks to entice all the humans he can, but, to no avail... he has already lost.  I understand that we humans sometimes see things differently, but, when it comes to disagreements with God there is no question... God is right, period. And at the final judgment we won't be able to claim dyslexia as a defense either!
