Gen. 3
Ah yes, we all have heard the story of how a serpent deceived Eve, and how the fruit looked good to eat. Listening and looking may be two of our biggest obstacles in life. Here Adam and Eve had everything one could want, and they also had talked with God. What else could one want? How could they have fallen so far?!
However, we face the same temptations and fall for the same traps. The Bible shows us many ways that God blesses us. "Every good and perfect gift comes from above" (James 1:17) is a popular verse that comes to mind. But, the world tries to sell us lies. They tell us that whoever has the most toys, the most money, biggest house, will win.
God gave us everything we ever needed and more than we deserved. Our eyes get us in trouble when we chase material things. Our ears only want to hear selfish things. I didn't even touch on the lips! So be careful who you listen to and try to fix your eyes and ears upon Jesus.
