And the Lord God planted a garden eastward
in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground
made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good
for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of
knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2: 8-9
I noticed today that fall
is in the air. My miniature roses are starting to recover from the intense
desert heat of the summer and bloom again. They are beautiful and delicate. So
many tiny blossoms on each potted plant on my patio. My little rose garden.
I read Genesis 2 recently
and noticed something I hadnt seen before. Maybe its because this part of the
bible is so familiar to me so I didnt pay careful attention to it. The LORD God
caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight. He created something
pleasant to our eyes. It wasnt enough that it filled our dietary need. He
caused it to be pleasant to our senses. Our Lord is so loving to us, that He
desired to create plants that would please our eyes. My roses are a gift from
Him. Something He created to give me pleasure, to bring a smile to my face.
Indeed as James wrote Every good gift and every perfect gift is
from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17
