I came across Genesis 3:1 this week and it made me pause.

Satan asked Eve did God really say? Satan attacked God’s word and cast doubt.

Isn’t doubt the opposite of faith?  I know when I can’t see the whole picture and my faith wavers, doubt sets in.

The  first strike was even more harmful Satan attacked God’s word.

How many times have I heard people talk about the inconsistencies of the bible? The history, the context, or the translation not being taken into account.

Or what about picking and choosing scriptures to fit our needs or wants.

I never acquainted this with Satan’s work. He is the father of lies.

If he can get us to argue over points in the bible and divide. He wins.

If he can get us to doubt. He wins.

If he can get us to pick and choose what scriptures to follow. He wins.

We will never be full of faith living in his lies.

Today I choose to denounce the father of lies, being aware of one of many of his schemes.
