The Apple
It wasn’t that big of a deal, right? It was just a piece of fruit.
The sin, seemingly small, and the snake, seemingly small both snuck in smoother than smooth.
The devil has been using that same scheme since day one.
-it’s not that big of a deal
-it’s just one
-it’s only human
-it’ll be ok
Don’t be fooled. When God says no, He means no.
Eventually there will be a consequence, and you really don’t have any idea how far that consequence could spiral reaping destruction on more people than just yourself.
It really is a big, big deal.
“Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.”
Yes, yes, yes! Sometimes it’s the small, even common things of life, that capture my attention to draw me away. You’re right, it’s a really big deal!
