"Cultivate and Keep"

“Cultivate and Keep”

Blessing folk!

The Lord created all.
He created ex nihilo - from nothing.
He did so in six days.
He fashioned/formed man.
He created a garden for man.
A garden with an abundance of food and water.
A garden with two trees in the midst of it.
A garden with a river flowing from it.

Then the Lord did this…

Gen 2:15

Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden
to cultivate it and keep it.


The Lord took the man he created, Adam, and put him in the garden of Eden.
Man was to cultivate the garden.
Man was to keep the garden.

Cultivating and keeping are different today.
Today it requires work…due to some things we will see later.
For Adam, cultivating and tending the garden would not have been work.
It would have been the flow of life designed by the Lord of walking with Him and interacting with His perfect creation.

Such is hard for us to comprehend.

But, the day is coming…
