Scripture: Genesis
3:17
To Adam he
said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about
which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it…,’
In verse 17, God makes it clear that Adam is being
punished because he listened to Eve instead of to God. This shows us the need
to reject peer pressure, even as adults, and to live to please God rather than
people. It shows the need to reject other people's ideas and advice when they
contradict God's known will, just as Adam should have with Eve.
Who has your ear? What person do you listen to
most in your life? When you have a decision to make, do you go to them before
you go to God?
Remember that every person is fallible, despite
their intentions, and that only God will lead us right every time. Go to Him
first and reject any suggestions that contradicts what you feel He's telling
you either in Scripture or in prayer.
