Genesis 3:8–13 (ESV)
The Fall (Part 3)
8 And
they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God
called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He
said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the
tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
Passing the buck. It is interesting that no one wants to take responsibility for their sins. Adam passes on to Eve, and Eve passes it
on to the Serpent. Our sin separates us from God and they pass the blame on. Well people today still like to pass the buck and not take responsibilities for their actions. This act of disobedience and doubt is very costly to mankind.
I pray: O Lord, help me to stand up and confess that I have sinned and I repent. I want to do better. Forgive me and restore me into your kingdom.
Amen.
