“Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.”‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3:1-7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Moses says, “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.” Do you ever rationalize a decision that’s is in complete conflict of God’s commandment? Eve convinced herself that the serpent was right and God didn’t want the best for her. Adam didn’t step in either and sat idly beside her. Please pray that we and our friends don’t fall into temptation to rationalize away sin and also not to abdicate our responsibility to help our friends when they are tempted. Please pray for Tyson’s group.
