Dear Father,

The very reason You sent Adam and Eve away from the garden was to prevent further consequences should they fall again. The Scripture records, “And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”

Sometimes, we are too frail and limited in our understanding to grasp the weight and application of spiritual laws and principles. One striking insight from this passage is: Your nature as God does not override the consequence of their eating the fruit and living forever, even if You desired it otherwise.

We see throughout Scripture that it was impossible to alter the decree of a king, even when it was no longer in his favor. Yet, we often fail to take the weight of these things into consideration: that the correction for eating the fruit was the death of Your very own Son. A correction whose process was so severe, yet still dependent on the thread of human will.

It was never just about the fruit they ate; it was about all that would be required to correct one broken law. These are the very laws upon which the earth is founded. And oftentimes, we ask for Your intervention in consequences we are living through, not realizing that divine intervention is consistent with divine principles. So we question Your ways when we do not see results. Yet, it is not a power problem--it is a gap in understanding. More often than not, the correction lies in the principle.
