Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!
And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.
“You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 5“God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”
At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.
Lord God,
I wish to experience your “Very Good” creation. Protect me from the deceitful ways of this world. Open my eyes to your great plan and use me to express your Truth to those I can influence, especially me. May we delight each other in your creation, fallen as it is, to reveal the Peace you desire for us and created us to live in. May I have courage to stand firm on your desire over my own.
