A serpent’s whisper cannot truly silence the voice of God, for His word is eternal, unshaken, and sovereign. However, a heart that longs for deception may choose to listen to the lie rather than the truth. The issue is not God’s silence but humanity’s selective hearing, which often prioritizes desires over divine wisdom.
Temptation does not overpower truth by force; it gains its strength when the soul is already leaning toward it. The voice of God remains constant, steadfast, and clear, yet when the heart is drawn toward what it craves, it will strain to hear what it wants rather than what it needs. This misalignment of priorities causes individuals to seek validation from sources that lead them astray rather than anchoring their beliefs in the timeless truths found within God’s teachings.
Eve did not hear the serpent because God was silent; she heard him because she was willing to listen. The same whisper echoes through time, luring hearts away with half-truths and empty promises that offer immediate gratification but fail to provide lasting satisfaction. This is a lesson that transcends generations, our susceptibility to fleeting pleasures can obscure the clarity of God’s message. Yet, despite the allure of these distractions, God’s voice still calls through His Word, His Spirit, and His unchanging truth. It invites redemption and encourages steadfastness, reminding us of our worth and the path of righteousness.
Temptation may be persistent, but it is not sovereign. Its power is in persuasion, not authority. The heart that remains anchored in faith will not be swayed, for though the serpent whispers, the voice of God never ceases to speak. It is vital to recognize that the noise of temptation may be loud, but it lacks the foundation and substance that comes from a genuine relationship with God. When we engage deeply with scripture, community, and prayer, we fortify ourselves against the insidious whispers that seek to divert us.
Ultimately, the choice lies within us, to listen to the fleeting allure of temptation or to embrace the steadfast truth that God continues to proclaim. Through unwavering faith and commitment, we can cultivate a heart that discerns the true voice amidst the clamor of deception. Thus, we can live in the fullness of God’s purpose, free from the shackles of lies and fully immersed in His divine wisdom.
The serpent whispers, soft and sly,
A twisted truth, a cunning lie.
Not louder than the voice of Light,
But heard by hearts that shun the right.
Desire bends the listening ear,
To words it longs but fears to hear.
Not God is silent, He still speaks,
Yet willful hearts choose what they seek.
Eve heard not because He stilled,
But for the longing unfulfilled.
She leaned toward what shone so bright,
Yet found the day gave way to night.
The whisper lures, the promise gleams,
Yet sin is not the gold it seems.
What tempts the soul can twist the mind,
Until the heart is lost and blind.
But though the serpent’s voice may call,
God’s truth still stands, above it all.
For those who turn, for those who seek,
His voice is clear, His love runs deep.
Temptation woos, but cannot reign,
For faith withstands the strongest strain.
The serpent whispers, yet in vain
God’s voice remains, His truth sustains.
