And he ate of the fruit

Genesis 3:6
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that is was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of it's fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he at.(NKJV)

Eve saw nothing wrong with the tree that the serpent tempted her with. She saw nothing wrong with all that she already had either. It was not that she did not have enough, it was the greed of life, wanting more. Why not? She was in the garden with God, walking with her husband that no one could deny was given to her for she came out of him for him. A match made by God. She had all but that one tree...

It has been said that sin is like an opinion, we all have some and think that we are right. I think that the best analogy is...Bad breath; we all have it. But can you smell it? When you are around someone who just drank a coffee or had a smoke, boy do they not smell so nice. The funny thing is, they do not know how bad it is, but we see it or smell it.

As in Genesis we see the lust & greed, lust of the eyes, the lust of knowledge and greed for MORE. Why do we act as if we will not be tempted. Why do we say that we prayed about the junk that we elect to do...when it is our lustful yearnings that are being satisfied?

Repent from all sin, even the sins that you have justified, the sins of circumstance.

As we live our lives here in this world we are not to be complicit with it. When we see our and other crimes against God we are to report it, confront it and repent form it. We must not compromise and indulge...the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the lust of money, the lust of self.

I exhort you to stand for righteousness, for holiness because He calls us to be Holy.
Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. (NKJV)

I wage a war daily with my flesh in the battle of sin. By the grace of God do I have victory.
