Today's Though: Day 2

Eve wasn't starving.
She was standing in a garden filled with God's provision.
Yet the serpent managed to redirect her attention from everything God had provided to the one thing God had restricted.
That is one of temptation's oldest strategies.
It makes you stare at what you don't have until you stop appreciating what you do have.
You can have blessings and still become obsessed with somebody else's blessing.
You can have an assignment and become distracted by somebody else's platform.
You can be making progress and become discouraged because somebody else appears to be moving faster.
You can have people who genuinely love you while becoming consumed with winning the approval of someone who doesn't.
The enemy doesn't always have to take something away from you.
Sometimes he only needs to make you stop appreciating it.
Eve's problem wasn't a lack of provision.
Her appetite had been redirected.
