So for this devotional it focused on the, well Garden of Eden. This was the original paradise that God created for His creation. Now this was all before the fall of Adam and Eve. These two were naked and not ashamed (Genesis 2:25). If anyone was naked in front of someone they would feel ashamed, well at least I know I would feel ashamed.
I have studied this passage before with my college group, and one thing that we noticed is that Adam was asleep when Eve was being created, and I mentioned that in Les Miserables, when Cosette and Marius meet in the yard, Marius mentions that he is in dream, while Cosette says that she’s awake. Whoa.
Anyways, moving on. I believe the purpose of this devotional was to remind His children of His beautiful creation. Living in the city I don’t see much of nature, unless I actually go and seek it, like how I should be seeking God everyday! I have venture out to the parks and see some “nature” because some of the “lakes” and “ponds” were man made.
I do like nature, but I’m so much of a city girl that I don’t even like stepping on mud, and that’s what Adam was made of (Genesis 2:7)! Let’s just say I like seeing it from afar, or if there’s mud i will avoid it at all cost. I don’t mind walking on grass, but I do mind sitting on it. I really do admire God’s creation, especially the sunsets that he paints everyday, and the sound of rain, the lightning streaks, the sounds of birds chirping. I also want to see the Orcas and Dolphins being freed from captivity, even though it will be hard to rehab them for living in the wild.
If we don’t take care of God’s earth nature will definitely disappear, and I don’t want that to happen for the next generation. I don’t want to see a world where people would have to buy “bottled air” in order to breathe in clean air. Let’s take care of God’s creation for He has provided us this environment so we may be fruitful and multiply.
Application: take part in taking care of God’s earth
