Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:7

And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

-- Gen. 3:7 (KJV)

The moral of this verse is very simple.  When the focus turns away from God, then a person will begin to focus upon his or her own insecurities.  Notice that Adam and Eve made clothes in order to cover their inadequacies.  Do not allow for materialism to cause for you to become a disillusioned person.  If you cover up your flaws, then you will never fix them.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,7,1.  (3) Stay in the Spirit so that your vision does not become locked in upon depravity.  (7) To be complete, do not focus upon your own inadequacies.  (1) To follow God, do not attempt to cover up your flaws.
