Our Journey Through Proverbs

"if sinners entice you, turn your back on them!" Proverbs 1:10 NLT

Decisions. Every day each person breathing air is faced with decisions.
Often the unhealthy decision is very appealing and attractive.
God told Adam and Eve not to eat of 1 tree in His vast garden.
When they looked at the 1 forbidden tree, they found it enticing.
Genesis 3:6, the tree was (a) beautiful; (b) delicious; (c) would
give her wisdom.
Is it wrong to enjoy something beautiful that God created?
Is it wrong to taste something delicious that God created?
Is it wrong to desire wisdom?
So what was the big deal?
Simply put, God said "no".
And as His children, we must obey our Heavenly Father, even when it
Doesn't make sense. If we decide to go against God's command, we follow
In our parents, Adam and Eve's footsteps.
Adam and Eve decided that they wanted to be as smart as God and decide for
Themselves what was right and wrong for them.
In reality, they were placing themselves above God by assuming the role of
Judge to determine what they wanted to do and believe.
They chose to be rebellious and followed their pride into a terrible decision.
So please journey with me through Proverbs and learn God's thoughts on decisions.
I'm praying for you,
