"The Fall of Man"

Scripture Read:

Genesis 1 - 4

Insight Verse(s):

3:22 Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”

Insight Gained:

The Lord points out to (Christ/Holy Spirit) that Adam has obtained wisdom not intended for him (by deceitful means), and cannot be allowed to live forever with this knowledge. His days are numbered because of his deceitfulness (mistake). How true is it that I too limit what God can do or is willing to do, through my actions. The Holy Spirit cannot work in the midst of sin. God cannot stand sin and refuses to bless sin no matter the reason. I need to learn to do things God's way and in his time alone.

My Prayer to God:

Lord, thank you for revealing my weakness, help me to learn to be patient in waiting for your time and place. Help me not only to listen, but to also obey. Help me to allow you to work through me in truth and action. Please continue to reveal to me my short-comings that in their revelation I may learn to correct them.
