Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
Satan is not only crafty, he is more crafty than all the others. It makes you wonder about the craftiness of the rest of creation, but there is no evidence of their craftiness nor if their craftiness was bad. But, we do know that the serpent is evil for he tries to see whom he can devour (1 Pet 5:8). He challenges us with rhetorical questions which work to minimize God and his wisdom.
A and K, Do you ever question God's wisdom? It is okay to ask God why, but know for certain that if he said it, he means it. Also know that he doesn't change his mind over time. Many think that parts of the Bible are not relevant for today. Satan is asking them to doubt God's wisdom. "Certainly that was a cultural thing, God would want that for today," they say to themselves. Do not allow the Serpent to trick you, daughters. When you know what God says, don't be tricked. Live it out.
