    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Thursday, April 11

    [/FONT]    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]You are bound to be like God,[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] knowing good and bad.[/FONT]—[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Gen. 3:5.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
    Although speaking only to Eve,    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Satan used the plural form of the[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] pronoun [/FONT]    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]“you.â€[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] In so doing, he[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]may have tried to appeal to her[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] pride, endeavoring to make her[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] feel important—as if she were[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]the spokesperson for herself and[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] her husband. The result? Eve evidently[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]took it upon herself to[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] speak for both of them by saying[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] to the serpent:

    [/FONT]    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]“Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat.â€[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
    Satan also distorted the facts. He    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] implied that God was unfair in[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] demanding that Adam and Eve[/FONT]
    ​
    “[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]must not eat from every tree of the garden.â€[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Next, Satan got Eve[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] to think about herself and how[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]she could supposedly improve her[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] lot in life, becoming [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]“like God.â€[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Eventually, he got her to focus on[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]the tree and its fruit rather than[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] on her relationship with the One[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] who had given her everything.[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif](Gen. 3:1-6)[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Sadly, by eating of[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] the fruit, Eve showed that Jehovah[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] was not the most important[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Person in her life.
