Proverbs 17・Genesis 2:8–25
Reflect
Spend some time thinking and dream and imagining what Eden what have looked like. What do you see? What do you feel? What do you hear? What do you smell? What are different things that you are touching? Now spend some time thinking about what, in your mind, defines a perfect, unhindered relationship with the Father. Now with all of those thoughts and ideas you came up with regarding what that kind of relationship would look like, think through this thought: Our Father, sent His Son, in the power of His Spirit, to come in the flesh, to die for our sins, and was raised from the dead and sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. Why did He come? To restore the Garden relationship with you! How does that make you feel? Do you believe it? Do you think it’s possible? Why or why not?
Respond
Spend some time praying today for people you know who do not yet know Jesus. Pray for their salvation. Pray they would encounter the love of God who wants to restore a Garden relationship with them as well.
