Who Is God? Pt. 7

The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:8-9

The Lord God is a farmer, or you might say, a gardener. We see in this passage that the Lord plants and places, grows and provides. The Lord will place the man and then in verse 15, we see the man following in the Lord's footsteps by tending the garden. The Lord, Him we call Father, first taught the man to farm or garden. We can see here that the Lord loves beauty with His provision also, for the trees that provided food were also pleasant to the sight. We understand from what came later that this was not a place for weeds and thorns, but of produce and pleasant viewing. The Lord's garden was a delight!

Rejoice! The Lord will make all things new once again and soon.
