“I Am” Devotional – Sin Enters The World in The Garden of Eden – Chapter 3 with Narnia Storytime – “The Horse and His Boy”
Today in our devotional we learned about how Satan came and brought sin into the Garden of Eden. Eve fell to the temptation and so did Adam. Watch the video to hear what happened!!!
Also, we read Chapter 3 in “A Horse and His Boy” from the Narnia series. Below are some things from our “Family Guide To Narnia” by Christin Ditchfield. Think about these things as you listen to the story. Look for how CS Lewis tied Scripture into his writings. Remember – Narnia is not real, but The Bible is, and CS Lewis used his amazing imagination to show people God at work. Pretty cool if you ask me!!
“At The Gates of Tashbaan” – Chapter 3 (2nd half of the reading)
~Aravis is escaping from an arranged marriage and shows no concern about how it is going to affect others. Or the consequences. Proverbs 21:2 says “All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.”
~Bree realizes that his self-focus makes him insensitive to others’ feelings, especially Shasta’s. Romans 12:3 says “Do not think of yourselves more highly than you ought.” 1 Peter 3:8 says “Live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.” – Oh that word humble. We ALL have to work on that, don’t we?????
~Proverbs 11:2 tells us that “with humility comes wisdom.” Hwin shows much humility and keeps reminding her friends that it is more about getting there, to their destination than worrying about their appearance.
~As the chapter ends, we see that all of the travelers come to realize that “Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.” We learn this in Proverbs 13:10. This is a great reminder and lesson that every single person needs to listen and learn from – I know I have to be reminded sometimes. I am sure you do too!!
Challenge for today: Do you remember the story in the Bible that tells about an animal that spoke and stopped someone from making a terrible mistake? Who was that? What happened? Your hint is in Numbers 22:21-34. Remember – anyone who sends me a message or video with the answer is our winner for the day and gets a prize sent to them!!
Love you all! See you in Chapel!!
