Caution!

The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. ~ Genesis 3:6a (NLT)

What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? ~ Luke 9:25 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
Beware, lest you give up the good and healthy gifts of God for a false promise of more.
PRAYER:
Lord, you have already given us so much. But for some reason I'm always wanting more. And that desire clouds my judgment so that I easily fall to temptation. Forgive me for my greed and for how quickly I give in. Please intervene at the first thought that I might become more powerful or controlling. I am going to follow Jesus, the humble self-sacrificing Savior in all these matters. Amen.
