Genesis 2:15 - 3:24 Adam and Eve

In what ways are you like those first humans?
Like Adam and Eve we often have to live with the painful consequences of accepting bad advise. But consequences are reminders of hard lessons. They are not excuses to give up or to repeat the same mistakes.

Satan's Plan

doubt - makes you question God's Word and his goodness

discouragement - makes you look at your problems rather than at God

diversion - makes the wrong things seem attractice so you want them more than the right things

defeat - makes you feel like a failure, so you don't even try

delay - makes you put off doing something, so it never gets done

I need to learn to put all my faith in God and completely trust him. He has a plan for me that is greater than anything I could do by myself. I can't let Satan get in the way. I haven't been doing a great job of relying on God and giving him my worries. Lately I've been getting discouraged because I can't seem to find the one thing that I'm great at; the thing that I'm made to do. I want to know now. There's a reason for everything though. I need to just go with the flow and trust God because He has something great planned for me.
