The One: AdventSample

God’s ways provide real joy and wisdom to humanity (see Psalm 19:7-8). But Satan aims to fool humanity into seeing their own ways as wise (see Genesis 3:6). It’s easy to get tricked because Satan’s deceptions usually reward us with a temporary pleasure. But when humans choose their own instructions over God’s, they cannot find the true and lasting joy they seek.

Read:

Psalm 19:7-11, Genesis 3:1-7

Reflect:

Compare and contrast the two passages of the day. What words and concepts are repeated in both passages? What do you notice?

Pray for renewed trust in God’s good motives towards you. Be honest with him about the ways you have disagreed with him or doubted him and ask for what you need to follow his leadership today.
