God has been so gracious in my life over this study of Eve. He has covered me when I have fallen short and definitely exposed areas of improvement through Eve's journey. However, just like the Father that He is, He has also rewarded me for my times of obedience and moments triumph. He is faithful; more faithful to me than I will probably ever be to Him. He remembers to put breath in lungs everyday. If I was in charge, I would surely forget!
I pray that you all have had a blessed week and have received something from this journey with Eve. God certainly lead the bible to be written for a purpose. Therefore, Eve's journey is ever relevant in our lives today. We must resolve on the importance and the necessity of it in our lives. Eve, the first woman has so much to offer in her brokenness and triumph. We are Eve. As Eve toiled in the garden with the serpent, so we toil over sin every day as we live our lives. We can learn so much from her pitfalls and victories.
Thank God for Eve!!!
