Enter The Garden of Eden
When God allowed the first man, Adam, to tend to the garden of Eden, that was a form of exercise (cf. Gen 2:15). His work enabled Adam to exercise both his mind and his body. Since all things were good in the eyes of God then, this was truly a grace for man. In fact, Adam and Eve led a simple life and found rest in God’s garden.
However, when sin entered the world, man was driven out from the garden and had to toil for his daily bread. This caused a change in the way man perceives work in the world. Admittedly, most jobs today exert certain pressures on us, which can be stressful.
Despite our busy work schedules, we need to enter into the spiritual garden of Eden today. Only then will we have true peace and joy in the Lord. Yet how do we enter this spiritual garden?
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Mt 6:33)
We enter into the garden of Eden when we choose a life that places God as our top priority. As we seek first the kingdom of God, He gives us the assurance that all these things – be they food, clothing, or necessities – will be given to us.
Most people reverse the order of things and toil and labor for the sake of material needs. They live a life “under the sun”, which is the norm for the people of the world. But as the chosen ones of God, we are called to lead our lives above the sun. We can do so by placing God first in our lives, knowing that our daily work is but a means to our temporary survival on earth.
Today, just as we have entered into Christ, so too must our hearts enter into the spiritual garden of Eden to find rest and blessings. It is inevitable that we face pressure and worries as we work. Nonetheless, let us take comfort in knowing that God will surely not allow His people to starve or face lack of daily necessities (cf. Prov 23:5). As far as testimonies in the church go, God shows His love to our fellow brethren. Seldom do we hear of brethren who love God but suffer from need. Let us have faith in Him and put God first in our lives. When we trust in His word, we will receive this blessing from Him.
Come and join us to worship God, to experience the true garden of Eden, together in our upcoming Fall Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation.
