The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom

Wig’s Word of God Today 2-11-2011

The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom. Genesis 3:6a

Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”) Mark 7:34

Genesis 3:1-8, Psalm 32:1-2, 5, 6, 7 & Mark 7:31-37
 
Sometimes in life we are so busy we make quick choices and end up getting it all wrong by allowing other people to convince us of something we should not do. This is such the case in the Garden of Eden when the serpent tricks Eve into eating from the Tree of Knowledge and in doing so realizing they have been given the ability to see good and evil. Husbands should listen to their wives so you can’t blame Adam for doing what Eve wanted by eating the fruit but it’s when you allow other people to convince you to do something that will hurt you is where Satan wants you most.
 
Allow your eyes, your mind and your soul to experience “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”)  as Jesus does to the deaf man in Tyre and experience the love of loving Christ to its fullest. There is something lacking in your life and it’s affecting your judgment in living life free of worry. With all my heart and soul, I believe it is the lack of a relationship with Christ Jesus. Allow His Truth to guide your every thought and feel the freedom of living a life in Truth.
 
So we ask in prayer: My LORD and My God, we pray today for wisdom from reading Your Word and following Your commandments. We pray we have the courage to say no to Satan’s trickery and Yes to Christ’s Truth. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
 
Ashamed and God-fearing Hiding Behind a Tree
 
Cunning and ugly the serpent had his way
Adam and Eve followed only to lose their say
The fruit was delicious filling them with pride
God reached down and ended their wild ride
 
Now they lay naked and open for all to see
Ashamed and God-fearing hiding behind a tree
How can anyone hide from God they learned to be
His Power sees through anything so truly obviously
 
A deaf mute learned of His Power when Jesus spoke
His loving touch must have been a soothing stroke
Guided by His Father Christ made the blind see
And the deaf spoke clearly of God’s love for Humanity

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do! I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650. I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect. I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain, Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
