Genesis 1-3
It struck me today how it only took three chapters for Humans to fail. Now we don’t know how long Adam and Eve lived in the garden before they were cast out, but that’s not the point. Other than naming all the animals and starting the human race, the most monumental thing they did was disobey God. He gave them one rule and they couldn’t even follow it. We are like little children: tell us we can’t do something and that makes it all the more desirable in our eyes. We fall so easily and so often, and there’s nothing we can do to reverse what we’ve done. There are so many times I wish I could just go back and fix it, change one decision I made; but I can’t. Like Adam and Eve, we all have to face the consequence of our actions. I guess the real test is how we handle those.
