Sharing God's word
Here's a thought. Many of us have grown up hearing the phrase, "opening Pandora's box". A quick Google search indicates it's an artifact in Greek mythology and means, "Any source of great and unexpected troubles", or alternatively "A present which seems valuable but which in reality is a curse." 

When Adam and Eve sinned (chose to do what they wanted independent of God), that one seemingly harmless bite opened the portal for every type of sin known to man. This should cause us to think about all of the things that could happen based on the choices we make and the words we say.

​
​What have you bitten into today?

It could very well have irreversible consequences.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden,  3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.  3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.  3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Pandora's box was opened.  Continue with daily Bible reading  Genesis 3: 7-24
