Devil’s Tricks

The devil plants suspicions in every field, because a suspicious person is usually weak and the devil can conquer him.

The devil plants suspicions in the social relations as a whole. He plants suspicions between husband and wife, between friends, partners in business, and between boss and subordinates. He makes one person doubt the love of the other or doubt his faithfulness and honesty. He plants suspicions against any behavior of people and against their intentions and purposes. Today he will let you feel you are sure of something, tomorrow you will feel hesitant and insecure.

The devil does all this to shake relations among people, lead them into discord and disputes, and destroy love on which spiritual and social life as a whole depend. Even matters which should pass easily, are complicated by the devil’s various suspicions and he may make of them complex problems!

We must not accept any suspicions within us, nor be doubtful, nor let doubts continue.
