Logically, we may know the difference between right and wrong. One of the biggest pulls Satan has on people is through their emotions. “For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). He makes good look evil and evil look good. One of his biggest tools to draw people away is deception. The Bible explains how temptation leads to sin: “Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death” (James 1:15). He is constantly on the lookout for ways to attack and tempt us to sin (Mark 1:13). Satan is constantly looking for ways to attack us through temptation. Like the coyote, the devil has many wiles-or tricks-to capture us (Ephesians 6:11). Christians are warned to recognize the danger of this enemy whose sole purpose is to thwart our opportunity to be a part of God’s family (Hebrews 2:10). We are told: “Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). But he is not a cartoon or a fictional character, he is the real-life Satan the devil. Like the coyote chasing the Road Runner, we have an enemy who is chasing us. The coyote is hungry and driven to eat the Road Runner! The coyote devises very intricate plans, occasionally with complex machines, to catch the pesky Road Runner-but always fails in the end! You may recall that the coyote is constantly chasing the Road Runner. Many of us grew up watching Looney Tunes and enjoyed watching the cartoons that pitted the Road Runner against Wile E.
We are like the Road Runner because we are constantly being pursued by an enemy. Coyote is a cartoon theme that many have enjoyed.
