Eyes Wide Open

PRAY Lord I'm so grateful that you've given us the Bible and that I have the freedom to read it. Help me to understand what you have to say to me today.

READ Genesis 3

REFLECT

Popular culture sometimes portrays sex as the 'original sin'. But that's not what the Bible says. In fact, the joy of intimacy between a husband and wife is part of God's design for creation (2:23-25). Rather the original sin was to question (3:1) challenge (3:4) and then disobey (3:6)

APPLY

What makes you feel guilty? Have you done anything in the last week or so that you deeply regret? How could you make things right with others and with God?

PRAY

Lord, It's hard for me to admit it, but I have a problem with sin. Please forgive me and help me to live in a way that pleases you.
