She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. (Genesis 3:6) Dear beloved, in this verse we see a great truth. Sin does not come suddenly… it begins with desire. Eve’s problem was not hunger… it was excessive desire. It looked good to her eyes, it pleased her heart—and just like that, she forgot God’s word. What she liked became more important than what God had said. That is where the problem began. She also drew her husband Adam into the same path. This shows that one person’s mistake can bring trouble to the whole family. Even today, the same thing is happening. “We need a little more… we want a better life…”—thinking like this, we begin to undervalue the blessings God has already given us. Do you have a small job? It is God’s gift. Do you have a family? It is a great blessing. Do you have a husband and children? That is true wealth. But what are we doing? We look at others’ lives and become dissatisfied. We leave our own path and run after others. Dear beloved, remember one thing: Excess desire never gives joy… it only brings problems. Being content with what God has given—that is true blessing. Wives should respect their husbands and listen to them. For peace in the family, mutual respect is necessary. It is not about overtaking one another, but about walking together. Today let us make a decision: “O Lord, I will be content with what You have given me. I will not ruin my life with excessive desires.” Amen. ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ For Prayer, Contact: Dr. N.
