Analysis
I heard someone say Satan got Adam and Eve to fix their eyes on one tree when God had already given them an entire garden.
I heard someone say Satan got Adam and Eve to fix their eyes on one tree when God had already given them an entire garden. Think about that. The enemy didn't have to convince them that they had nothing. He just had to make them forget everything that they already had. And he still, till this day, uses the same strategy. He gets us to focus on relationships. We don't have the job that we don't have the opportunity. We don't have the healing we haven't seen yet. Meanwhile, we are blind to the countless prayers God has already answered. Gratitude isn't pretending you don't want more. It's refusing to let what you don't have make you forget the goodness of God that's already surrounding you.
