So I have no enlightening story or wise words. All I have is a question. What is Satan's main goal in this world? What is he after in our lives and how does he try to destroy what is beautiful every single day? Just something to think about and meditate on.

good question. im not that familiar with the background of satan (ie- how it came about that he exists) but i think he is after our relationship with God- and that includes our ability to make good decisions, to keep meaningful goals and dreams that are pleasing to God, and how we love others here on Earth. the closer i get to God, the easier it is for me to fall from grace and into satan's shadow. i guess its why God wanted us to have community, so that we might encourage one another to stay on track and avoid the pitfalls and weaknesses that Satan preys on. soo...yeah.
Right on, Rachel - he wants all of us to be separated from God. Since yall are reading it, Don Miller talks about his tactics in Blue Like Jazz - one of Satan's greatest tricks isn't to just make us fall, but to waste our time. To convince us to settle for less than the best. Because if we get caught up in, say, church programs, or video games, or just doing stuff, then we'll never actually engage with God.
