Composure: It's Ok Eve

Occasionally I get frustrated with Eve and just wish we all lived in Paradise. But you have to understand some things about Eve and Adam's situation. One example is Devil's Confusion.

Confuse: to disturb the composure of

Composure: cool-headed resistance to disturbance; the ability to calmly do the right thing in a social situation

It's ok Eve. Besides Donald Miller proposes a question: Did they know there was such thing as a lie? If you grow up with only God, or are new to the world, an infant technically, such as Eve, would you know what a lie or a liar are? Probably not. Kids are pretty gullible. And pretty innocent.

You were new to the world Eve and the Devil confused you, just like he continues to do to the rest of us, to this entire world. We live in a world of confusion. At least we know it won't last.

Besides God gives us a remedy. He always gives us a remedy.

Composure also means calm. So if the Devil disturbs our calm, how to we get it back?

"Be still and know that I am God." -Psalm 46:10

Still- motionless, silent
Calm- to reduce fear or anxiety

If you know who God is, you know He is bigger than Satan beyond our wildest dreams. And if you get lost in who God is for a while, truly focus on Him and only Him, and are motionless and feel Him in the breeze on your face and can finally hear Him in the silence, you will begin to feel more calm, feel less tempting pressure, and practice this concept on a regular basis you will forget the temptation, guaranteed. It will be challenging. You will still mess up. But maybe it would be less if we really knew how to do this.
