Grace for your spirit January 2, 2013

Grace for your spirit
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate, and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.  Genesis 3:6

There used to be a anti drug theme, "Just say NO!"  I always thought it should be "Just say NO, and Run!"  If we let the devil and temptation hang around long enough, bad will start to look good.  If Eve would have quit looking at the tree and told the devil to get lost, the outcome might have been much different.  Our need for immediate gratification is strong.  Take a minute and google the "Marshmallow Experiment". When we leave what we should not have around, we face difficult challenges.  Jesus' words are best. "Satan, be gone!"
