It seems that all people crave attention. Young kids will often do something naughty to get attention knowing they will be punished in the end. Actually all people have inherited that longing for attention. It started at the beginning of creation. The devil was not satisfied with his position and wanted to move up even with GOD. GOD will not share His glory with anyone or anything. The Bible teaches that no one or anything can come close to GOD and survive. I believe His glory and brightness is so intense that anyone or anything would be burned up instantly.
When Adam and Eve gave in to satan’s temptation and ate the forbidden fruit they sinned against GOD and received satan’s nature. The old saying that good is dull and bad is exciting seems to be true among all humans. Many people (even Christians) find rough stuff and prize fighting more exciting than a Church service or a family gathering.
There are a few people (Christians) who have matured in their faith enough to resist nearly all temptations thrown at them. I envy them because I don’t have the strength or “want to” to grow and mature like them.
BOTTOM LINE: One thing I know about myself is I don’t seem to want to grow close to GOD and mature like I should. I have been looking for an excuse but I havn’t found it yet. When I do I will let everyone know what it is…………..AMEN
