Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…she took some and ate it.”
(Genesis 3:6)

No!

No! No! No!

Is that what You said when Eve bit the forbidden fruit, Jesus?

Was that the cry of Your holy angels
when she caved in to Satan’s temptation?

Better question:

Is that how You feel when I do the same?

When I read about Adam and Eve’s fall

I shake my head in sorrow.

“Why can’t they see what a foolish thing they’re doing?”

Then the thought:

“Why can’t I?”

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was…desirable for gaining wisdom…”
(Genesis 3:6)

Most of us want to know more than we do, Jesus

at least about some things.

But that’s not what Satan was marketing to Eve.

He claimed that all she had to do was disobey God
to become wiser.

And she did.

Shortly after she and her husband were expelled from the garden
she learned that she’d have been wiser

to disobey Satan.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened…”
(Genesis 3:5)

In some ways, Jesus…

a half-truth is worse than a whole lie.

A half-truth borrows from what is good and perverts it.

A boldfaced lie, at least, keeps its dirty mitts off of the truth.

Just as he did to Eve in the garden

Satan loves to tell me half-truths.

When he does, please remind me:

Eve bit…and got kicked out of Your garden.
