And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17
God does not forbid eating fruit from the tree of life… I only noticed this recently and it has added real poignancy to this story for me. Like Adam and Eve, we regularly choose to focus on what God says is unhealthy or bad for us rather on the good things he has already given us access to. Do you need to do some re-focusing this week?
