“And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat”
Life is full of choices. Each and every day you must make a choice to keep going. Nonetheless, the choices you make can impact your life negatively or positively.
You see, we make choices that cut across all spheres of life. Some can be spiritual, social, financial, and moral. But all these choices have its consequences. This makes choices very delicate. A good choice will bless your life and a wrong choice can jeopardize your life for good.
The Bible in our opening text shows the choice of Eve in the garden of Eden. Despite the Lord’s specific instruction on what they were to do in the garden, Eve made a choice contrary to what the Lord expected. Genesis 3:6 says “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat”
Eve’s choice was guided by what she saw in the flesh and what she desired. Not long after that, the consequences followed. What They have was lost, and their relationship with God was destroyed (Genesis 3:22-24).
This example is something, every believer must learn from. Don’t just make choices. Learn to consider things carefully, especially the word of God and some specific instructions the Lord might have given you before you make any choice in life.
Never make choices because of the present pleasure and satisfaction it will give you. Think beyond temporary or transient pleasures and satisfactions when making choices.
You see, most people have put their life in a disadvantaged position because of a wrong choice.
Read: Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore, choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live”
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for the opportunity to make choices in life. I pray for grace and wisdom not to make choices that will jeopardize my life and destiny. Amen.
