Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.
00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.
00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.
00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.
00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.
00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:28.312
Today is Day 5, a Different Voice.
00:00:28.312 --> 00:00:34.393
We'll be reading from Genesis, chapter 3, verse 10, from the New Living Translation.
00:00:34.393 --> 00:00:40.951
He replied I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid.
00:00:40.951 --> 00:00:43.500
I was afraid because I was naked.
00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:43.700
So I hid.
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:45.402
I was afraid because I was naked.
00:00:45.421 --> 00:00:51.128
In the third chapter of the Bible, in Genesis, we hear a new, troubling voice enter the world.
00:00:51.128 --> 00:00:56.235
A dangerous enemy shows up, planting seeds of doubt and temptation.
00:00:56.235 --> 00:01:03.543
From that moment, the perfect relationship between God and humanity is broken.
00:01:03.543 --> 00:01:06.531
Maybe you've felt that struggle when doubt and temptation creep in.
00:01:06.531 --> 00:01:18.099
You might even be facing temptations right now, wondering like Adam and Eve did God really say?
00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:21.322
Maybe you've experienced the guilt and shame that make you want to hide from God and others.
00:01:21.341 --> 00:01:25.325
Temptation often promises something new New knowledge, new power.
00:01:25.325 --> 00:01:31.272
It looks appealing and desirable, but sin never gives us what we truly need.
00:01:31.272 --> 00:01:35.495
We chase after more money, only to find it never satisfies.
00:01:35.495 --> 00:01:44.144
We pursue new relationships, but adultery and divorce often destroy the ones we value most.
00:01:44.144 --> 00:01:53.402
God's voice, though firm, is still gentle when he calls out to us and he asks have you done what I told you to do?
00:01:53.402 --> 00:02:01.353
The curse of sin is real, but God also gives us a promise One day, the offspring of the woman will crush the tempter.
00:02:01.353 --> 00:02:08.884
Jesus will come and his power will replace temptation with joy of a new life.
00:02:08.884 --> 00:02:13.094
Father God, our sin has broken our world and our relationship with you.
00:02:13.094 --> 00:02:17.604
We long for something new, yet we hide from you.
00:02:17.604 --> 00:02:24.460
Let us hear your voice and know again the joy of fellowship with you, and know again the joy of fellowship with you, amen.
00:02:24.460 --> 00:02:32.963
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
