So often I hear people blaming God for everything from Floods and devastation to hang nails. Read or listen - Genesis Chapter 3 The results of this chapter has given us everything that we experience today.
Stop and think for a moment. God made the earth perfect and gave Adam everything from naming the animals and plants to just having a one on one conversation with God each day. There were no earthquakes, floods, or anything but peace in everything he did. There was just one RULE. The tree in the center of the garden. It was because Adam was given a free will to make decisions that encouraged him to name things and make other decisions around the garden.
Satan knew of Adam and Eve's free will too and found a way to get Adam and Eve to rationalize that "God really did not mean what He said." So the results were not only the labor and hardship things for Adam and Eve then and for everyone from that point on. He also than allowed the earth to change, from which we get all the devastation we see from that point on until today.
From this third chapter of Genesis the world has been going downhill. The physical side of the world is seeing the book of Revelation coming true. We see scientist trying to "play" God in attempts of controlling the weather, and efforts to control our thoughts, nutrition, and lives by governments while discounting God's word.
Yet I believe that God can and does stop bad things from happening. When you read the conversations between God and Satan in the book of Job, you easily can see that Satan is the master of pain and devastation here on earth.
Therefore the blog yesterday is where we need to focus. Adam was the physical side of man that was made from the dust of the earth. Jesus was a part of God and came into the world, not by dust, but by miracle. He is the spiritual man who gives us the life with God and not the physical Adam (humans) life for eternity. The spiritual side that rejects God will experience that feeling of pain we physically know today for eternity.
I know it is Adam's and Eve's fault for the fall of man but if were not him, I am sure someone else along the way would have given into Satan and God would have had no choice but to do what He did.
Would that person have been you? I know it would have been me because I still go against what God wants for my life every day. So stop blaming Adam and live for the Second Adam. It is the Second Adam that cleans our lives every day.
Look up and not out!
