Genesis 3:8a. God Has Not Changed Toward Us

on

Genesis 3:8a “And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day:” 

    I am so glad that God is not like us. He doesn’t jump to judgment even when He has every right to do so. He is not a hasty God of jealous reprisals, nor does He immediately cut us off when we break trust. On the very day of humanity’s great failure, the voice of God was heard, not booming down from heaven, but on the still evening air. God came down. He gave immediate evidence that He had not changed toward us, it was we who had changed toward Him. God did not draw away, He did not cut Adam and Eve off, or give them a stony silent treatment. After giving them time to think and reflect, He came down to them and walked in the garden in the cool of the day. He not only made Himself available, He came calling.

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).
