If you don’t trust the surgeon, you probably won’t show up for the surgery” - Scott Dohner
The original lie satan used in the Garden of Eden as his first attack on humanity was to cause Eve to doubt whether God was trustworthy. Ever since then, the deceiver has continued to use the same attack on all of us. What Eve did when she ate the forbidden fruit was her attempt at taking control of her own life back from God. Often, when we are presented with the lie that God can’t be trusted, we do what Eve did, we agree with the deceiver and find ourselves trying to take control instead of surrendering it. The central question for all of us is, are we trying to sit on the throne of our lives, or are we surrendering it to God? When we believe that God isn’t trustworthy, we inevitably begin grasping for control and find ourselves sitting in God's seat on the throne of our lives.
