Struggling with importance? God gave Adam dominion. God “custom designed” Eve to help Adam in this tasking. Have you ever wondered what tending the Garden for God entailed? What is it that Adam abdicated to satan that terrible first sin day? What gifts, what authority, what joy, treasure and pleasure was vended in exchange for a lie about grand knowledge? The measure of regret is what was given up and it intrigues me that very few ask what Adam gave in exchange for the lie. The greatest of which was probably the priceless treasure of walking and talking with God every day of your life.
What have I abdicated to satan? What has been handed to me through grace that I sell in exchange for worldly pleasure, lies or insignificant knowledge. God owns it all. Do you get that billions if not trillions of stars and planets? Why then would anything on this earth hold any value, weight or comparison to that. I heard Michael Youssef the other day speaking of the inheritance we as Christians can expect as joint heirs with Christ. Contemplate that a bit, what does that mean to you? The thoughts it creates in my mind make anything that this earth and its lies have to offer pale in comparison to my inheritance. Perhaps I will be asked to tend the Garden on a solar system of planets. I mean it all belongs to Him right? And Paul did say that we cannot even comprehend the glory that awaits us. Start thinking big about who your Father is and what righteous restoration of service for the King of Glory would look like in the new Heaven and the new Earth.
I choose to be content with what the Lord has given me and grow harvest where I have been given seed and lent the ground. Remember that pleasure and peace you have felt next to the lake, upon the mountain or in the field just existing. Knowing that you did today what God commanded and reaping the moments of silence and tranquility that come from being alive. What measures up to that moment when you look upon your children as they run in joy, thankful to just be alive and playing with friends. What pleasure or promise surpasses the pricelessness of these simple joys? None. Be with Christ in the Garden once again, walk with Him in the cool of the day. There is no greater achievement then walking with God and enjoying what He provides.
Christ the King, King of Glory and Lord or Righteousness and Truth. His Will shall be done in this life and the next. Praise God, seek purity and discernment.
