And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

Their eyes were opened to wrong choices and this was a new ‘liberating, but ‘enslaving’ situation. Here we see a perfect definition of sin – choice of my over God’s plan for life.

He blamed her and she blamed the snake!
Prayer: Thank You for ultimately providing a way of healing for these ‘set-in-place’ wrongs of disobedience,
As I read it!
