In our Women’s Bible Study last night, we studied Genesis 2, the
awesome account of the creation of man and woman. We read how God placed them in this
unbelievably beautiful garden, where the wild animals were all frolicking
around together, weather was perfect, there was no disease, no death, no
suffering. But best of all, God walked in the garden with them!!!
He talked with them FACE TO FACE. I imagine for Adam and Eve, it must have been
like it was for Moses: “The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a
man speaks to his friend…” Exodus
33:11-13. We talked about what it really means to “walk with God”, as the Scriptures also say
Enoch and Noah and Abraham did, and how we need to determine to make our
relationship with God the number one priority in our life. Following is a poem God gave me 30 or 40 years ago concerning that priority that
you might like to think about in your own life. It still convicts me...….
TO MY CHILD
Don’t
tell Me you have no time to put My Word into your heart.....To listen to Me,
To converse with Me.....
FOR THAT IS WHY YOU WERE CREATED!
All of time is given to you to learn to
know Me.....
To
receive My love.
If
you think you have no time,
Then
there must be one thing.....two things.....That you can cut out and discard from your life.
I,
an all-wise God, would not create you to love Me
And
learn to know MeAnd then not give you the time to do so.
Search
your life and see.....
WHAT HAVE YOU PUT THEREIN PLACE OF YOUR TIME WITH ME?
All
your busyness, all your service, all your successes,
They
are as nothing to Me;I want YOU.
I
want to talk with you and listen to you
And
teach you to love MeIn preparation for the eternity we’ll spend together.
Don’t
tell Me you have no time for Me.
I
gave you the time;It is mine to take back.
You
were created to love Me and to receive My love.
What
have you done with my time?
All My love,
Your
Father
