cos of sin, we fall short of God's glorious standard, accepting the world's standard
luke 22 26
standard of marriage to God is commitment... but the world's standard is about feeling
God introduced Adam sleep... put Adam into deep sleep.. a rest
when Adam was sleeping, God was working on His behalf, doing what we cant
when Adam is working, God was silence.. God didnt interfere
mark 4 26
our rest will not do any good if we dont do work in the day
without scattering the seeds, theres nothing God can do
genesis 1 5
our rest determine our performance
genesis 2
genesis 2 15
stewardship = we are in charge of something tt belongs to someone else
1 tim 6
all tt we have belongs to God, and at the end of the day, we are to account for the things we are being stewarded for
steward is introduced before sin.. but if not done properly,
Adam and Eve were attracted to something tt were theirs.. this is the devil's strategy... not looking at what we alr have but keeping at what others have
the 2 commands
work it = to cultivate it, to make it better
keep it = maintain as it is
genesis 2
genesis 2 12
God will not ask us to do something we cant... if God ask us to do something, God reveals our potential
to work means to invest our time and what we have in our hands to make it better
if keep things as it is, we dont realise our potential
