Genesis 3
The Fall
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and
pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took
some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her,
and he ate it. 7 Then the
eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so
they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
Clearly we have a definite example of non communication.. God gave ADAM a clear cut directive not to eat of the tree from the middle of the garden.. Surely Adam was there during the whole conversation between the serpent and his wife Eve. If you choose to think otherwise , surely you would agree that he was fully aware of what God told him before he ate of the forbidden fruit. Being the one that was designated by God as the Head of what God created, and the Head of the woman he gave him.. It was the responsibility of Adam to uphold the command of God, and forbid his wife against disobeying God.What are some of the things Adam should have done to prevent this from taking place? Communication for one is a very vital and necessary piece of the puzzle.
Obeying the advice of a Loving Father is another...
We are not much different today in our own
relationships.... Broken, Disobedient, Speechless..
But it doesn't have to remain this way... IT IS WRITTEN.... AMOS 3:3
3 Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
Let's work on getting into agreement with our spouse, and love ones. Working on being more agreeable. Just the change in our attitudes, will make a world of difference!!
Working on our methods of communication is also important, there a many ways to communicate. But most important of all, is the method of verbal communication.. FOR IT IS WRITTEN... GENESIS 1-31
AND GOD SAID......
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. Lets learn to effectively communicate with our spouse, and love ones.. And watch the healing that will take place in our marriages, relationships, and lives.
