Taking care of business – Gen 2:15-17
15 – Man’s mandate in the garden was two fold. To work and take care of it.
16-17 – God gave man one commandment. He was free to eat from any tree in the garden but not the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The consequence of breaking this commandment is that man would die. Seems simple but this shows that mankind can even foil the simplest of instructions. God was testing the man to see if he would obey. Obedience is key and foundational to kingdom living. Andrew Murray says the Christian is living in a School of Obedience. Obedience is greater than any sacrifice we can do. God demands it and love for Him responds. Man would fail be you do not have to. Make God`s will a top priority and goal today.
