The Need To Rediscover Him and His Garden

"There was no man to work the ground....Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day."  (Genesis 2:5b & 3:8--NIV)

The Garden was just that, The Garden--- The Life------ The Living Triune God and His friends, enjoying each other.  The Garden was in many respects incidental.  The Purpose of the Godhead was "walking" with His "new" friends----- "in the cool of the day," man "work[ing] the ground," taking care of the animals.  The sophisticates will laugh about being "farmers," ridicule primitive culture, no "science" or advancements, no electronic worship.  But would someone please tell me how man has improved himself?  (Just a thought here, you understand, but I wonder how much unemployment we would have if man would never have left------- "to work the ground.")

Anyway, generations beyond our texts we read of Enoch.  We have no record of great achievements, countries visited, people healed, miracles performed, thousands flocking to his "meetings," his high demand as an author and conference speaker--just, "Enoch walked with God."  Then many generations later another one of my favorites, Isaac, who one evening with no ipod, no auto, just "went out to meditate in the field at the eventide." 

Frankly, all we have done is to complicate a simple, I repeat, simple, man-and-his-Maker Purpose--------------------- I miss it.  Through His Precious Blood of the Cross, Jesus came to restore us to the intended fellowship of, "in the cool of the day"-- "walked with God"-- "out to meditate in the field at the eventide."  Here is the call of Jesus to His Church today: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." 

Father, in Jesus' Name, I want to come back from wherever and however I may have left Your Wonderful, Gracious Intent.  Amen.
