1st Timothy 2:14. “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”
DECEIVED. I’m sure it is not always true, but there is this to consider – A woman is often picked by a con to mislead. He’ll come with some unusual thing and then attempt to get her To think, this is a tool she really needs. Her life would be much easier if this unit she will buy – And the con wants to make the sale while the man’s away. He is skilled at sleight of hand and says if she really tries This unit will save a woman a lot of time each day.
This technique is not new; Satan used it long ago – Appealing to the curious nature of a woman. It wasn’t long until the man and woman both did know The actions each took threatened their union. If the man did what was right, he would be separate from her – She had been deceived, but he must make a choice. His love for her was strong, and to her offer he did concur – And his decision was made to go contrary to God’s righteous voice.
Looking back upon that scene, there are lessons we can learn. One is: God intends a man to truly love his wife. But don’t leave her to make big decisions alone, her trust you’ve earned – Someone has to make final decisions in normal life. The results of wrong decisions are due to those who deceive, Can affect a home and a church in a very negative way. God set the roles in order, and through man’s transgression all receive The consequences of sin are because of the deception of that day.
“I understand, Father God, how such consequences followed the actions of that day. The whole basis of our human experience was at stake. If you were not going to be obeyed in the little things, even in the pleasures of life, then how could we ever be trusted with the big things that would come? Help me with wisdom to not act without consideration of Thy will in the small things as well as the big things of life. I ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
