Let’s prayerfully read Genesis, chapter 3.
Adam and Eve were placed in the garden to enjoy all the vast blessings of God’s creation. ZOOM INTO the deception of the serpent in Vs. 1 – 5, implying that they had “needs” beyond those things which the Lord (Yahweh Jireh) had committed to provide. Eve’s focus shifted from the abundance which was hers to the one thing that was forbidden. Abandoning a heart of thankfulness, Adam and Eve selfishly took from the tree and experienced death.
PAUSE AND REFLECT –
Are there ‘needs’ in your life that the enemy may be implying that God cannot provide?
Recognize the enemy’s deception and bring your needs to the Lord in prayer.
Focus on what God has provided in abundance and not what He has forbidden.
“Father in heaven, as I consider how Adam and Eve were deceived by the serpent, I realize how often I am led astray from recognizing the vast blessings You have freely given me and focusing on forbidden things. May my heart focus on Your love as I remember……. (your provision, protection, presence), For I pray in Jesus name, Amen!”
