[The Glory Unveiled]
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. [ Genesis 3:6 NIV ]
Adam and his wife, Eve, had always walked in the perfect harmony of the Garden of Eden. They knew its every corner, every tree, every animal, every sound. Life was complete and filled with God’s presence. Yet, there came a day when Eve’s heart would be tested, a day that would reveal the deepest desires of her soul—and the choices she would make would echo across all of humanity. On that day, she saw something she had never noticed before. Her eyes were opened—not to truth, but to illusion. She was deceived into believing that something good could emerge from a path where God was absent. And yet, God had clearly spoken: “Do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” He was not part of that act, and where God is absent, nothing good can ever come. Consider Nathaniel, who once asked, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” (John 1:46). The answer came not from human logic, but from divine orchestration: the Messiah indeed come from there, because God was at work. But when God is removed from a plan or a choice, destruction follows. That is exactly what happened to Adam and Eve—and by extension, to the human race. Eve saw the tree and desired it: it was pleasing to the eye, it seemed good for food, it promised wisdom. And she ate. But how did she know this? Not from God, but from the tempter, the deceiver. She embraced a counterfeit knowledge, one that contradicted God’s original instruction. So I ask you, what knowledge are you accepting today that contradicts God’s word? What voices are shaping your desires away from the truth you once knew? Before you believe a lie masquerading as wisdom, remember Eve—the woman whose inner longings were exposed by deception, and whose choice became the gateway for humanity’s fall. Guard your heart. Test every message. Seek only the wisdom that comes from God Himself.
