We think we know.
Perhaps we do know.
But there is something about him that we sometimes miss.
Imagine this.
You're minding your own business in the library, reading my blog!
Someone you don't know comes behind you and says,
"Do you really think you should be reading THAT blog?"
Or, you're minding your own business in the grocery store.
You're in the produce section when someone says,
"Get oranges instead. They're in season."
What do both of these situations have in common?
An assumption: Authority!
This assumption is the devil's key strategy.
Watch this:
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’?” Genesis 3:1
Wait a minute!
Didn't God really say to Adam and Eve, "Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:28?
Didn't God give them authority over the serpents? Then why is this serpent coming up and asking the queen of the earth what God "really said?" What business is that of his? Didn't Jesus tell Peter to mind his own business when Peter asked a question about another disciple's business?
