first commandment

Are you familiar with the Ten Commandments? This was an early expression of my dealing with people, but it was not the first. For the Ten Commandments were preceded by the One Commandment, that you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You may think this is not an issue for you since you don’t have access to such a tree. Yet don’t dismiss this matter lightly. Whenever you lean on your own understanding rather than including me in your thoughts and conclusions you eat from this tree. My invitation for us to reason together was not only meant for sin. I want you to seek divine wisdom in everything you do, and make it freely available to you.
