Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.
Its interesting that we often forget about ”the serpent” in our everyday life. We’re busy, we’re stressed, we’ve got things to do. We may not see the deception that is slowly spoken over us throughout the day – lies, empty promise, provocative thoughts. We shrug these off as our own thoughts, maybe our own brokenness. Praying that God would help me to distinguish His voice and say ”NO!” to the lies of the serpent.Genesis 3:12-13 = BLAME
When we are in a compromised situation, it is so easy to pass the blame off to others. ”She told me to do it.” ”I was decieved; I didn’t know.” ”It is not my fault.” But, God knows. He knew that while Adam & Eve were decieved, they both gave into a temptation of pride, jealousy, desire. They wanted to be like God. Praying that God would help me to see my true heart intentions behind my everyday actions.
