Genesis Week 4 - Fallen

The pursuit of knowledge at the expense of trust is a Siren song we struggle against still to this day. We place high esteem on the learned and at times pity the uneducated. Having more information doesn’t always lead to deeper trust. It is trust we need in keeping with worship of, hope in, and obedience to God. Jesus tells us it is in Him that life is found, and the pursuit of understanding is in vain if it does not lead us to Him. “You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about Me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.” (John 5:39-40) 

The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made, His love is great, and His compassion never fails. Ultimately that is all we need to know.
