Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend
and keep it. And the Lord God
commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Genesis 2:15-17
Genesis 2:15-17
Man’s first job was agricultural management. From
the beginning of his own creation the Lord God placed him in a garden to work
and maintain the plants, trees, and animal life. He was given simple
instructions to be followed and handled with care. One tree from which he was
not allowed to eat. Life and death was held in the balance in the Garden of
Eden. Man was faced with a choice to obey God or follow his own desires.
How often do we stop and pause for a moment look
around us, at the garden of life God has placed us? Each person has been given
their own personal spot in this world, to live, to work, too thrive. We are
also given a choice to spend our time productively tending our garden,
cultivating it to produce life, or to follow our own desires. The challenge is
for us to make those two options the same. Seek what you want to be the very
thing He wants for your life.
Life is a garden and you my friend are the
agricultural manager. The Lord God has given a task to accomplish in this
moment in which you will be carrying out through the power of the Spirit who
dwells within. After that task will be another as He sees fit to give. Follow
His instructions for life and seek His face in the garden. He is already there
with you ready to get started today.
