Gen 3:23-24
Therefore
the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from
whence he was taken.
So he
drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims,
and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of
life.
The Lord
took man out of a wonderful place and put him in a place where he once
was. Man violated the boundaries of the
garden and now he was not to dwell there any longer. The Lord still loved him. The Lord still had a plan for Adam’s life. The Lord still had rich, fertile soil for
Adam to enjoy and tend. Our God is our
father and if we are really His children we will be disciplined and given
certain consequences and privileges in order to cause us to grow up in all
things. Sometimes we may experience this
attribute of our Father in heaven. He
may make us leave something that we have handled in a way that was reckless and
rebellious. This means that He loves us
and is not finished with us. Accept the
consequence, let the discipline work out the rebellion or doubt that may have
led to the sinful choices. It will bring
forth fruit that is full of peace and righteousness. Cooperate with His consequences and till the
ground He has you in now. Our God is a
God who has every right to send us away from certain settings and place us in
others. He is God and He loves us. Have you ever lost a relationship due to
sexual sin? Have you lost a job due to
some sort of laziness or irresponsible behavior? Have you ever lost a friendship due to lack
of love or faithfulness? What
relationships are you in now? Till
them. What jobs do you have at this
time? Work unto Him. Who is in your life now? Invest in them. The Lord desires lasting fruit wherever He
may place you. He is not finished with
you yet.
