A Journey to
Whenever we approach the subject of Adam
and Eve, it almost always refers to after the
fruit was eaten. But, what was it like before,
when things were good?
What was it like to talk with God face to face,
and tell Him about all the things that we had
discovered in Eden that day? Would His face
break into a smile as our eyes lit up telling
Him about the beautiful flowers we had
seen, or the animals that had wandered by?
Would he laugh out loud if we told we played
hide and seek all day, and that it was His
turn to be ‘it’.
I imagine that, before the fruit was eaten, Adam and Eve had an innocence about them, not unlike newborn
babes in our present world. Can we ‘go back’, and get some of that? Can we experience a snippet of what they
did, in those walks in the cool of the evening? I believe we can. God wants to hear from us. He wants to know
about our day. He wants a relationship with us. To do so, we must find those moments of quiet time, and
listen to His still, small voice. And tell Him all of our concerns, worries, and fears, and then trust Him to deal
with them as He sees fit. And, most importantly, follow His instructions for our lives. That’s where Adam and
Eve’s daily walks with God came to a screeching halt.
Walk with God? Or go our own way? Both paths are laid before us. Which will we choose?
