We were all just finishing a sum of holidays. I believe we have taken some small trips to visit friends, family, and relatives. Recently, when we traveled as a family in our car, we stopped for a while before a field of green grass. Behind it were mountains in different shades of grey. It was so beautiful, and when we stared at it for a few minutes, it gave the feeling of a huge painting on display before our eyes. How much care God must have given to create the colorful nature with different shades that refreshes our minds. There are no words to describe the beautiful golden sunset. When God created nature, He used His word. He sent a word to create it. Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.”Genesis1:24.
But when He created us, human beings, He worked closely to create us. He used His own hands to make Adam out of clay. He gave His own breath, the breath of life, to make us living beings.
Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us". Genesis1:26.
He definitely has a different plan for us than for nature. He wanted us to talk to Him, spend time with Him, and love Him. That is what He expected from Adam. God was walking in the Garden with Adam and talking with him. God yearns for our companionship. Before we fall into our everyday mundane activities, let us not forget that He has come to us to talk to us. Let us cherish God's word and talk to Him in prayer. He is the source of everything. In Him is everything we need.
May we give ourselves a time when we walk with Him in His Garden. May our house be His Garden. Let God walk in it happily and talk with us. May our workplace be our Garden. May we let Him help and guide us as we start working. May we let Him be our beloved companion everywhere.
Dear God,
Thank You for Your presence in our lives. May we seek Your companionship all day and be filled with goodness throughout the day. May our souls rest in Your love and in Your guiding assurance. Hold our hands and talk to us, Lord. Open our eyes to see You lovingly holding us close to Your heart.
In Jesus' name, I thank You. Amen.
