work it and keep it

romans 3 23

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

we will lose what we cannot manage properly
