Are You A Modern Day Eve?

You may recall that PARALLAX is based on the interaction of Eve and Satan in the Bible, back in the book of Genesis. Her story is a familiar one: good girl gets mixed up with bad boy. We see the story reenacted frequently in our lives with painful consequences, in literature, in the news...everywhere.

Although this crucial meeting between two impressive characters happened somewhere around 6,000 years ago, the lessons have not been learned. Women the world over are still falling prey to malevolent characters who desire to infiltrate their destinies and relegate them to emotional wasteheaps.

It's my opinion that many of the empowerment techniques available to women don't do much good. Trusting in God is the surer, safer route. That's where Eve lost her way: she didn't trust God at the very vulnerable moment of temptation. She relied on her own intuition. Unfortunately, it didn't bode well for her.

Do you know any women that are making decisions without trusting in God? Business, career, relational decisions? Suggest, gently, that they try discussing the matter with God first. How? They can start with a simple prayer. They can ask God to show them clearly if He approves of their decision. You'd be amazed at how God answers prayers.

Do understand, though, that God is not a genie in a bottle or a palm reader. You won't demand an answer and get an instant message. Start with prayer. It's the best start you could make.

Blessings,
