Think about this....GOD gave everything He created to Adam & Eve...the entire world, all of it. Here kids, have dominion over all things...enjoy!! Eat of any tree at all Except, that tree there, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. That one brings death to you. SO, every single other tree, shrub, bush, plant, eat freely as much as you want, and enjoy (here are some recipes), but don't eat from death.
This worked really well and everyone was content, and full, until the serpent (deceiver, liar, stealer, killer) asks Eve "You mean you cannot eat from this tree? this one makes you smart, you know.
Eve, ponders this, perhaps too long, and decides that God, who has given her ALL THINGS to ENJOY, is stingy, because he has set one little caveat- to protect her- don't eat of death.
She bought the lie. God was not generous and giving and creative and loving...He was stingy, selfish, a robber, and not loving...or else He would give me anything I want!
Sound familiar?
Do you trust God with say, your kids? your money? your future? your walk? your ministry?
Take Him at His Word....if He says something is no good for you, believe it. Don't think for one minute that you are going to be smarter than God about anything. After all, He has given us abundantly, above and beyond anything we can ask or think already. Don't turn your back on the Best Things, for that one thing that brings death.
He alone is loving and trustworthy.
