Genesis 2:10. God's Garden, the World's Fountain

on


Genesis 2:10 “And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.” 

The tree of life was in the midst, or center of the garden (2:9), and the river that went out of Eden certainly flowed from the same spot (see also Revelation 22:1-2). What God plants is always well-watered, not just for its own benefit, but to be a fountain of life to the world. When we become trees of the Lord's planting, trees of righteousness in Christ, God supplies us with rivers of His Spirit to make us a watershed of blessing to the world (John 7:38-39).

The Word of God is bread from heaven. God sent it, but we must gather it, appreciate it, digest it, and live by it. These days it is increasingly scarce. Many are starving for it and don't know it because they keep feasting on bad bread that doesn't satisfy. But if we would learn to carefully gather up the fragments of the True, Heavenly Bread of Life, we would always enjoy a feast of crumbs, because even God's crumbs are miracles mighty to save (Mark 7:24-30). ESPAÑOL: La Palabra de Dios es pan del cielo. Dios lo envió, pero debemos recogerlo, apreciarlo, digerirlo y vivir por él. Hoy en día es cada vez más escaso. Muchos están muriendo de hambre por falta de él sin saberlo porque se alimentan de pan falso que no satisface. Pero si aprendiéramos a recoger cuidadosamente los fragmentos del Verdadero Pan Celestial, Pan de Vida, siempre disfrutaríamos de un banquete de migajas, porque hasta las migajas de Dios son milagros poderosos para salvar (Marcos 7:24-30).
