A Panic Attack Paraphrase of Psalm 55.

In Genesis 3:5 there is a deceptive truth spoken from a liar to the ears and hearts of ones who were willing to listen and act on the information. A statement that, while true, tickled the curiosity and rationale of a couple that were intrigued by the idea of being like their Creator.

“For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil.” (Gen 3:5).

The Bible’s answers to difficult questions is going to ask us as believers to make two commitments.

A point of application is we see the difference between complaining to God and complaining about God. Scripture is loaded with instances when believers complain to God about circumstances. Indeed, entire books of the Old Testament are dedicated to the exploration of tough questions related to God's sovereignty in the valleys of life.
