The Fall of Adam and EVE!
Question one: Where was Adam when Eve was getting ready to sin and eat from the tree? I have read in Genesis and the only thing that it says was that Adam was with Eve but it never says he said anything to Eve. Here was something that I took to heart. At times (more so than not) I am an in control type of person. Here is what captivating says about that. Women like to be in control because of what Adam didnt do, (not to put blame on him) but with this we have the lack of faith and trust in God, therefore we take matters into our own hands. I began to explain to the girls that God is a relational God and He desires a relationship with us. (this was actually last weeks lesson) After Adam Eve ate of the fruit they hid themselves from each other and God because they were ashamed of what they had done as well as what they saw in each other. No matter how much we try there is not way we can hide from God, neither could Adam and Eve. God dealt with them and punished them and to this day we still see the punishment of Adam and Eve. (That is another blog)
At the end of my lesson I talked about about relationships, whether it be family, friends, or dating that first our relationship with God needs to be right before we can focus on other relationships in our life. Trust God with the small things in life because when the big stuff happens it will be easier to Trust God. I also told the girls that first and foremost their relationship with God needed to be the most important and that is what they needed to focus on more than anything. Everything after that will line up according to the WORD.
Read Genesis 2-3
