Question(s) for Reflection

• What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?
Scripture Union Daily Guide 31 March 2022 MESSAGE
For their disobedience, Adam and his wife began to experience separation from the Lord God Almighty. Read vs.8‐10 and note the two effects of their disobedience. Sin in us makes us want to hide from the presence of the Lord and makes us afraid to face Him.
Sin separates us from God and if not dealt with, will separate us eternally from Him. See 2 Thessalonians 1:8‐9. In vs.11‐13, Adam and his wife gave excuses for their actions. When questioned why they ate the fruit, Adam blamed the woman, the woman also blamed the serpent. Have you ever found yourself applying the blame game when you have deliberately or inadvertently done some wrong?
Read vs.14‐19 carefully and examine the sentences handed down to the serpent, the woman and finally the man. How are humans serving these sentences today? Observe that the woman’s offspring Christ Jesus, the Son of God, crushed Satan’s head at the cross of Calvary. In Christ Jesus, we have the victory over the devil. Finally, we see from vs.21‐24 God’s love for humans displayed. One is that God made more lasting garments for Adam and his wife. Find another one from vs.22‐24.
Practice/Word Application
Observe: Man’s separation from God deepens as he is driven out of the garden and prevented from taking and eating of the tree of life.

Beautiful mansions
1. Beautiful mansions, home of the blest, Land where the faithful ever shall rest; There is my treasure, there shall I be; Lord I am weary, lead me to Thee. Refrain Savior, be near me, Thy gentle voice can cheer me; O Jesus, my Savior, Lead me to Thee.
2. Here in a desert cheerless I roam. Laden with sorrow, far from my home. Clouds on my pathway darkly I see; Lord I am weary, lead me to Thee.
3. Thou wilt not leave me comfortless here. Why should I doubt Thee? What do I fear? Light in the distance breaking I see, Yet I am weary, lead me to Thee.
4. Jesus, I love Thee, dwell in my heart; Never, O never from me depart. Hope like a rainbow, shining, I see, Yet I am weary, lead me to Thee.
Closing Prayer
• Show us your mercy and forgiveness, dear Lord, as we repent from our numerous sins and misdeeds.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Isaiah 40:29
