Would you eat anything that you knew would surely make you die... "...for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Genesis 2:17
Could you be talked into believing nothing could happen to you..." So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate." Genesis 3:6
Could it be, from the beginning of time, man has made the choice of food over God? Could it be that the curse of addiction to deliciousness and delectable food for so many started right in that moment with Adam and Eve?
The apple and the tree from which it came surely was meant to represent Gods purpose against our own. "...tree of the knowledge of good and evil..." But when looked at from the eyes of someone who struggles with weight and has for almost a lifetime, one day it struck me that could it be that not only were we cursed, "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life" Genesis 3:17 but destined to a battle between good and evil, life and death, Home Grown vs. Fast Food &....
God vs Food
I heard someone say they would never eat anything they knew could kill em. Yet, this very person can't put fried chicken down if their life did depend on it. And for some many of us, it does. Our children's lives depend on it. The fried chicken, the french fries, the ice cream, soda, butter, sugar, and so on. And many food manufacturers make it even more difficult to lay down the good stuff with their "secret" addicting ingredients. So in those moments of crying out to God (or just crying out) to help you with weight loss or healing in your body, when given a choice to heal, could you/ would you choose the love of food over faith in God.
Eve, we got some talking to do...
