Year of the Bible: Part One of Twelve預覽

Humanity Exiled from the Garden of Eden.

Stop here and read today's scriptures.

After the Fall, humanity was thrust into a new reality. In his book, Unlocking the Bible, David Pawson puts it like this: "After the Fall, Birth is painful, Life is hard, and Death is certain." These are all brutal reminders of the consequences of humanity's decision to follow the serpent's way. In our society today, it seems that our highest priority is to avoid difficulty and pain.

Question: If you are human, you have experienced difficulty. How has God used a recent problem to bring about something good?

Prayer Focus: Spend some time thanking God, even for the difficulties you are facing. Name any challenging situations explicitly and honestly, and invite God to help you honor Him as you walk through these difficulties.
