Day 1: Genesis 1 & 2

Genesis 1

The very first chapter of the Bible is all about creation. God made everything. There was nothing before God. And everything He created was good. Except humans. Humans were very good. Isn't that neat? Right from the beginning God is extra excited for humans!

Genesis 2

As I was reading this chapter, one verse really stuck out to me this time:

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

Did you catch it?

Adam wasn't put there to sit around and enjoy everything. Don't get me wrong, Adam did get to do that. But there are two responsibilities there.

1. WORK the garden
2. TAKE CARE of the garden 

God didn't put us here only to enjoy life or only to worship him. Those are really important things. But we can't forget that we're also here to work.

Did you get through today's reading? What stood out to you?
