Who has bewitched you? agonized Paul, distressed that the Galatians, who had started off so well in their grasp of spiritual truth were in danger of losing it all. The parable of the sower tells of those who dont even start their spiritual journey because of birds that snatch the seed of Gods Word before it can take root. But the parable continues. Those who burst into spiritual life have no reason for smugly settling back. Its a long, slow process from germination to producing grain and many, says Jesus parable, dont make it. We can start off so teachable and open to the Holy Spirit, that we grow remarkably in spiritual understanding, but if this growth turns to pride, everything sours. Like a ravenous lion, the Evil One waits for us to forget that spiritual revelation flows from the grace of God, not from our devotion or intelligence. Then the Evil One pounces, getting his revenge by perverting our divinely given knowledge into a source of pride that ends our spiritual growth spurt. Even our earlier gains can be mauled.
