The LORD God Walking in the Garden


One Year Bible THOTS: Genesis 3:8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day…

Maybe I’m just a romantic at heart but these words stir me.  What was the sound of the Lord walking in the Garden of Eden?  Was it the slightest rustling of shrubby that caught the attention of Adam and Eve? Could it have been a breezy swish amongst the trees, or footsteps upon the moist green grass? 

What did Adam and Eve feel in their hearts when they heard the Lord coming times before the events of this dreadful day?  Anticipation, exhilaration, pure joy, perfect peace, the ease that comes with feeling safe, secure and loved; I like to muse.

For Adam and Eve, it was familiar, commonplace, and expected to enjoy the presence of God on a daily basis.  How about you?   Today, the Lord God will walk in the garden of your heart.  Will you meet Him with anticipation or withdraw because of sin, busyness, or apathy?

Come to the Lord!  Come as you are and allow Him to love you freely and forgive you completely.  Come now for now is the cool of the day.
