Charles H. Spurgeon on Temptation

Never has an anatomist so understood the human body as Satan does the human soul.  Satan has not been “tempted in all points,” but he has tempted others in all points.  He has tried to assail our manhood from the crown of our head to the sole of our foot, and he has explored every outwork of our nature and even of our heart, and he has lived there; he has searched our heart’s inmost recesses and dived into its profoundest depths.  I suppose there is nothing of human nature that Satan cannot unravel.  Though, doubtless, he is the biggest fool that has ever existed, yet beyond all doubt, he is the craftiest of fools, I may add, that no great paradox, for craft is always folly and craftiness is but another shape of departure from wisdom. ~Charles Spurgeon, “Spiritual Warfare in a Believer’s Life”, pg 30
