How do we break this cycle? We need to start taking responsibility for our thoughts and actions. We live in a culture that is exceedingly entitled. I find that each generation seems to get worse with the blame game. I have been the voice in my husband’s ear that Eve was to Adam. I have listened to the lies of the enemy and fallen many times. My choices have not always been the right ones. Sometimes I want to blame stuff on Adam and Eve too but just like they made choices so do we. Painful consequences we are still feeling today. Yet your desire will be for your husband,Īnd he will rule over you.” 17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’ Cursed is the ground because of you ġ8 “Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you Īnd you will eat the plants of the field Īnd to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:14-19 This choice would lead to death.ġ4 The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, He was clear about the consequences also.
