We just came through the season of Advent.The time of waiting. The time of silence.

We need to remember in the time of waiting, God was silent. Four hundred years of silence to be exact.

While the days passed for God’s people, life continued as always except the voice of God was not heard. The prophets had no words to deliver to the people.

During these years of silence, the people had to hold onto what they already knew. Their faith in the Word and promises of God had to sustain them.

It is when God seems silent that the enemy comes prowling.

“Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8, NASB)

The enemy was prowling, and casting doubt, from the very beginning.

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?”
(Genesis 3:1, NASB)

One word in that question hissed by the serpent began the battle between doubt and faith. Won’t you join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE and let’s look at the age old question together.
