Genesis 3: 1-7 (NKJV)
1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
I love how daily the Lord shows me something new… 
Like me, I’m sure you’ve heard this story somewhere around 2398 times. Eve was deceived by the serpent, ate the fruit (not an apple, imo), gave it to Adam, God asks, “What’s up guys?” etc etc etc.
What the Lord showed me was that once she heard what the serpent had to say about the fruit, she justified her disobedience. She noticed it was:
1) Good to eat. I mean, it’s not a “cheeto fruit” (how awesome would that be?!)
2) Looked good, too. It’s ripe & ready!
3) Besides being healthy & ripe, it has the added bonus of making her wise! win-win-win!
But it wasn’t a win at all. God made it perfectly clear that everything was aces except for that tree. Eve was justifying her disobedience. It didn’t matter that the fruit was ripe & made her wise, if God said, “don’t” then “don’t.”
I think we as Christians do this a lot. God (or our Pastor or some other authority figure) makes it very clear what we need to do or don’t do. For example, we all know that our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit. Ergo, we should treat our bodies well. “Well, it’s only cake & ice cream,” “Judy’s birthday is only once a year,” “I’ll work out super hard tomorrow”, etc.
Nothing wrong w/ cake, ice cream, birthdays, & what have you. The problem is when it’s not in moderation. Then what happens. “All the sudden,” your “fat” jeans are now your “skinny” jeans.
I’m not condemning anyone b/c I’m totally talking to myself, too. 
The issue is hand is when we know what we should or shouldn’t do & rather than just obey the voice of the Lord, we make excuses why we don’t need to. Lemme let you in on a secret: There are no loopholes in the Bible. Previous experience has taught me over & over again, it’s MUCH BETTER & FASTER to quickly obey the Lord than to sit there & try to find a way to justify why you’re not obeying Him or the person He put in authority over you. Besides, He promises to make a way of escape from every temptation. So, really, you have no excuse.
“Well, it’s different for me because I didn’t know.”
Ha, well, now you know.
Anywho, that’s what the Lord was showing me. What did He show you?
