God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Principles in breaking sinful habits and acquiring new ones:
1. Habits are developed and reinforced by frequent repetition.
2. Never let an exception occur.
3. Diligence in all areas is required to ensure success in one area.
4. Don’t be discouraged by failure.

6 Things the Bible Tells Us God Absolutely Hates
Adam and Eve are being sent out of the garden of Eden. They are sent out because they ate the fruit that God told them not to eat. God is punishing them for this. An angel stands by the gate of the garden to keep them from going in there again. The angel has come down from heaven. He does not live in this world. He lives up in heaven where God lives. A great many angels live up in heaven. They are very good and never do anything wrong. They do whatever God tells them to do, and go wherever he tells them to go.
