Bible Riddle #8
Eating the forbidden fruit caused the whole world to spoil.
One had to crawl, one cried, and the third for food would toil.
We still struggle with the first couple’s rebellion–
Whether in child birth, work, or all things reptilian.
So remember where all the sad things started,
so that you can find out how not to be broken-hearted.
And when you think about the clues this story taught,
the key for us is to love the Lord with all we’ve got.
