Eve -Devotional

Eve
    Eve the last to complete God's Creation.  She was the completer for Adam.  His help-mate and soul mate. Nothing in the garden was complete, until woman came. God planned for them to live together in the garden and never die.  Eve listened to the voice of another, and did what Satan told her to do.  She ate the forbidden fruit, and gave it to Adam to eat. This was sin and it separated them from God.  God is speaking to us all through the day.  We may hear His voice through a song, a verse from the Bible, someone talking to us.  We look up and see the sky God is making pictures and changing His canvas all day long.  Do, we stop and say look that is God trying to speak to us.  Our taste buds tells us God made food for us to enjoy.  The Bible says, " taste and see the Lord is good."  As we go through our day don't forget God loves you with an everlasting love, and He is trying to speak to you and draw you closer to Him.    
Satan is always trying to put thoughts in your mind.  He wants you to do what Eve did and turn from God to hear his voice.  We were born in sin, but God speaks to us and if we turn to Him.  He makes us a new creation in Him, old things become new. " Come unto me, I will show you great and mighty things you do not know."
 John 3:16  " For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
 
      ..."Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Acts 2:21
       
"The beauty of the sunbeam lies partly in the face that God does not keep it; He gives it away to us all."

The Shepherds are Coming





1.      The Shepherds bowed and worshipped.
2.      Joseph humbly obeyed, worked, and watched.
3.      Mary wondered and pondered.
4.      Angels brought good tidings of great joy.
5.      Wise men came later to give and adore
6.      All these teach us what we are to do. 

    “We must be about our Father’s business.”
    Jesus is saying to us Son-Daughter go work in my vineyard.
Matthew 21:28.
Herod hated and tried to kill Him.  We will either bow down to worship Him, or we will rise up against the truth.
The innkeeper was so occupied with the physical that he didn’t perceive who Jesus was.
    Are we so preoccupied with the our lives that we miss seeing God's miraculous hand in our lives?
