“And
the Lord {made} Eden, and there He put man.” Genesis 2:8
Have you ever considered the
wonderful preparations that God made for man? Before He made man He made light,
earth and sea, trees and flowers, birds and fish, and animals or every type.
There was nothing that man could need that God had not prepared beforehand. And
when He made man He made a paradise to put man in. God has been so wonderful to
His unique creation.
But He gave even more. God made a
woman for man because He knew we needed her. He gave them bliss together and
free range of Paradise with only one simple rule. “Do not eat of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil.” With everything else provided, how hard could
it be to not eat of just one tree? But man rebelled and ate anyway. But the
gift of God just kept on giving. His only Son had declared before the
foundation of the world that He would die on the cross for man’s foolish sins.
God completely provided all things for man for now and eternity.
Dear Father, Thank You for Your
wonderful provision. Amen.
The Friday Benediction
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
