"The Serpent Deceived Me"

“The Serpent Deceived Me”

Blessings folk!

God had asked Man, “who told you that you are naked…have you eaten of the Tree?”
Of course the Lord knew.
He was giving opportunity for confession, repentance.
He does the same for us.

Man blamed others.
Woman.
God Himself.

God did not reply.
He turned to Woman.

Gen 3:13

Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”


Woman did the same.
She blamed the serpent for deception.

God did not reply.

True, the serpent deceived.
True, the woman should have not listened and been tricked.
True, the man should have refused the offer of Woman.

God was allowing them to see what had occurred…to understand…
To understand the moment.
To understand the fruit of the act.
To understand the future.
To understand that there is hope…

But before all that was clear, the Lord would speak to the serpent…
