Genesis 2:15. The First God-given Institution.

on

Genesis 2:15 “And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” 

    The first institution that God gave to man at the very beginning of his existence was useful employment, otherwise known as work. Work was given to man before marriage and before the Sabbath rest. Work, like everything else God gives to man, is a blessing for our benefit and happiness. The employment God gave to man was agricultural, manual labor in which the exercise of hand and body unites with scientific observation, research, testing and analysis. No other type of labor is more practical for humanity’s well being and benefit on all levels of his being, physical, mental and spiritual. If everyone on earth would dedicate even a small portion of their time each week to the divinely-given occupation of gardening, what a better world this would be! Will you return to your roots and learn to tend growing gardens? There is also much dressing and keeping crying to be done for God’s planting in His spiritual garden. Won’t you take the job God offers with rolled up sleeves and a willing heart?

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).
