Apple Picking

There is a famous story that I could relate, About a lady picking fruit that changed all human fate. This was the first lady that our dear Lord did create. She succumbed to temptation and involved her mate. The Lord had told them kindly not to pick forbidden fruit, From the one tree in the orchard , but that didn’t suit. Eve was her name and while the Bible doesn’t say. It is presumed it was an apple, that she picked that day. Not only was she tempted, she convinced Adam too, to eat. Did they find the fruit better than other apples? more sweet? Temptation in this case was the devil himself that temped Eve. In the form of a serpent he came and continued to deceive. God was not pleased that His command, they did not obey. He sent them from paradise, they were not allowed to stay. Man goes on being led into temptation this we surely know. We like to put the blame on Eve from all those years ago. The apples that we pick against God’s Holy word today. Are not at all pleasant as the devil still leads us astray. We bare false witness, kill and steal, lust and cheat. So as you see that first apple ever picked was not so sweet.
