The Tree Of Life

I heard an interesting teaching today regarding good and evil that has caused a paradigm shift in my thinking. While I have often gleaned over Genesis chapter 2 I haven't actually assimilated all the truth until now,

"GOD took the Man and set him down in theGarden of Eden to work the ground and keep it in order. GOD commanded the Man,
"You can eat from any tree in the garden,
except from the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil.
Don't eat from it. The moment you eat from that tree, you're dead."
(The Message)

Of course I have always focused in othe the "evil" part of the tree but it my focus was challenged when it was pointed out that the tree was the knowledge of not only evil but of "good".
In my flesh, I guess that I have always thought that I was able to tell the difference between good and evil. Didn't God gift me with discernment? Yes. But is discernment a licence to judge good and evil? No. Only God can do that....for example:

When a marriage breaks up we think that this is not good.....but what if through the break up of that marriage, God brings both spouses to the end of themselves that they realize the need for a Savior? Then that break up is not bad....but good in God's eyes.

I know even as I write the word "good" in that situation, it gives me some discomfort. We are so used to catagorzing certain events into "Good" and "Evil" columns.
God truely wants us to give over all of ourselves to Him. We must go and sit at the Tree of Life. We are to eat of it's fruit. The Lord truely wants us to place our burdens at the foot of that Tree.
