Genesis 3:2

The woman started by saying what God did allow. God allowed Adam and Eve to eat almost all the fruit that was in the garden. (See Genesis 2:16.) The snake said only what God did not allow (in verse 1). There was only one tree that they must not touch. But the snake mentioned that one tree and he did not mention all the other trees.

The devil often works like that. He wants people to think about the things that they must not do. And he wants people to forget all the good things that God has given. We should thank God for all those good things. That will help us to remember them.
