We Choose Sin

I've decided to post responses to my daily Bible reading online. I'm going to work my way through from Gen. to Revelation. Here's a layperson dealing w/ God's Word day to day. Today I read Gen. 1-10.
Before it all, was God. But He chose to create us and the world we live in.
Creation. God says it and it is so. Human beings alone are created in God's image. God creates the woman for the man but it seems that later God reveals a fuller plan for her, that she, like man, is first and foremost created for God. Satan uses Eve to get to Adam, recognizing perhaps, that using someone else is many times more effective than simply directly tempting us, though it is the direct kind of temptation that Eve responds to. To some extent, Satan masterfully recognizes and puts in to play temptations suited to our natural inclinations for wrong. Scripture talks about us as having besetting sins, and there are certain sins and certain pleas that are harder for us to ignore than others. In whatever way possible, what Satan wants for us is destruction.
The desire for Adam and Eve to be like God resuts in God's condemnation of them, is echoed in the choices of Cain, in the sin of the people whose lives come to an end in the Flood and even in the behavior of Noah's sons in Gen. chapter nine.
We were created for beauty, joy, companionship, true life and true wisdom. Instead we choose ugliness, immediate gratification w/o thought of consequences, hatred, and finite understanding, unbelief, and death. Sin does not have to have the power we allow it to have. God simply says and it is so, in contrast to Satan who must connive and twist what God has created. God is infinitely bigger than evil. God is also wiser than evil, though it may appear to offer wisdom. It gives only temporary and fatal answers.
I have a very real bent to sin, even as a transformed Christian. God's ways are not always my true desire.
God, help me to see through what the world offers to know what is not of you and is not in my best interest. Help me through your strength to choose righteousness.
