It’s so good to be a part of the family of God!
God looked at Adam in the Garden and said, “It’s not good that the man should be alone.”
So God gave him Eve – who would be his friend, his wife, his companion – but would also be the mother of his children. That way he could have a family!
It seems that God and Adam and Eve had a time each day to meet with God in the Garden. The Bible says “in the cool of the day”. It sounds like a set time! Even when Adam hid, God was faithful to show up!
As the song says:
“And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own!
And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.”
So God provided everything Adam and Eve needed. He was truly their Almighty God – their “El Shaddai” – the All Sufficient One. It actually means “the breasted one”, referring to a newborn baby being completely dependent on its mother for nutrition, comfort, safety, learning and other things.
And now the Holy Spirit has come and lives in us. He has made us into His Bride, the Church – the Family of God.
Through Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection He has provided salvation for us.
Through the stripes that He bore, he has provided healing – Divine Health – for His people.
He says through the Psalmist, “The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want.” Despite inflation, corruption, high house, gas and grocery prices, lack of work force – all that is going on around us – God still offers this magnificent invitation to the members of His family each day, to meet Him alone in the Garden – to walk and talk with Him – to hear Him say that I am His own. To meet Him as a son or daughter! To be a part of the Family of God.
It just doesn’t get any better than this!
