Daily Thoughts 2-10-2017 Genesis 3:1-3

"Now the snake was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the LORD God had made. He asked the woman, "Did God really say, 'You shall not eat from any of the trees in the garden'?" The woman answered the snake: "We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; it is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, 'You shall not eat it or even touch it, or else you will die.'"" Genesis‬ ‭3:1-3‬

Temptation, is a trap we can fall into if we are not careful.  We are also given instruction by God as well, the Ten Commandments.  What question is the snake asking you?  He uses our own intellect and emotions to lay the trap.  God gives us a great world to live in and we like Adam and Eve have the same choice.  Do we follow God's instructions or do we act on the whispers of the devil.  God's ways brings joy and happiness, the devils way brings misery.  

Dear Lord Jesus, it is a tricky world with many opportunities to fall victim to sin.  Help us see the consequences of sin before we act upon temptation.  Guide our thoughts to always honor You, our Savior.  Help us see how prayer prepares us each day to go into the world.  I thank You Lord for the good fruit that You give us each day that benefits us.  May we encourage others to live a life of faith by our actions.   I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
