Seeds Of Doubt

I was reading a book by Gary Best about being supernaturally natural and it briefly looked at this idea. It just mentioned that "sowing the seeds of doubt about God" was the point at which Satan attacked Eve in the very beginning. He has continued to use this ploy with humanity ever since, doubting God and doubting each other.

I was thinking that this is a cunning ploy, because when a seed is planted, it germinates on its own  unless there is some outside interference. So when doubt is sown in issues of trust, the seeds begins to germinate on its own in the fertile ground of our mind and soul. Satan does no more real work, we do the rest, unless there is a direct counter measure on our part or from others. We develop our own concerns and anxiety that flourish if left alone to do so.

I think for me the best way to counter this is to begin to trust somewhere. It maybe God, but it may be as simple as sharing your doubt with another person you trust and hears from God. A better way may be to take the step of trying to open dialogue with your Father in Heaven. Either way, to do nothing is to allow the enemies ploy to flourish when the seeds of doubt are sown.

Until next time
