Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild
animals the Lord God
had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any
tree in the garden’?”
It’s
interesting that the tempter always starts with trying to get us to question God’s
character. If he can cause us to
mistrust our Maker, think He’s holding out on us, then he can get us to do
something we otherwise wouldn’t do.
In this
passage, the “crafty” one made Eve question what she heard God say to her.
Have you
heard from God directly regarding your life? Maybe He’s given you promises for
your kids, hope for your future, or faith for something impossible.
If you
hear a voice quizzing you on the validity of God’s word, you can be assured it’s
the voice that will then put a bite to it – if you listen to it - the bite of doubt.
Stand firm
on who God is – a Loving Father – and stay true to what He’s told you to do.
