To be like Job.
In all the terrible news that Job receives, he does not blame God but praises Him. I believe Job realized the true source of all that came against him. We should all realize how much satan wants to trip…

What? No fig leaf clothing allowed.
Did God not approve of the fig leaf clothing that Adam and Eve put together or did He want to provide more suitable attire? After all, they were gonna have to labor from here on out.

Crafty he is.
Interesting how the serpent carries his lie a little further in that he tells Eve that they shall be as gods (plural) when he knows there is only one God. This statement must have sounded really appealing…

Serpent/Snake
Was the serpent a type of cattle before God caused him to become a snake? Obviously he was something different.

Such a liar!
Mixed with some truth the serpent told a flat out LIE. Also, just how much did the word "die"mean to Eve? Had she ever even seen death at this point? Was the concept described to her at some point? Not…

No climbing this tree children!
How convenient for Adam and Eve, God put the tree that He forbid them to even touch right in the middle of the garden so that there would be no mistake as to what tree He meant.

And he could talk?
From this scripture it's obvious that the serpent could communicate to Eve. He must also have been a smooth talker since the bible describes him as crafty. It makes me wonder if the other beast could…

What about Eve?
God made her from the rib that He had taken out of Adam, but it is not mentioned if He breathed life into her. I want to think that He did the same, but it may not have been necessary. One thing that…

The first surgery ever.
Having been his creator, God new exactly what part of the body to take from Adam to create Eve. He also put him to sleep where he would feel no pain during the process. What a mighty surgeon we have!…

It is not good that man should be alone.
Thank you Father for this wonderful blessing. Help meet is a very appropriate description for my wife as we are one in marriage to support one another in every aspect of life. I'm sure Adam was excited…

He didn't die.
From what I remember of the story, Adam and Eve did not die as soon as they ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Could it be that they were created to never experience death at all and when…

A little more about THAT tree.
Obviously, the tree of knowledge of good and evil does produce some kind of fruit, because Adam was commanded not to eat there of. What kind of fruit is not described here. One thing for sure is that…

Where's the apple?
Is it mentioned further down the line in God's Word? I was always led to believe that it was an apple that Adam and Eve ate against God's commandment. I see here in this verse trees that are pleasing…

Proof that man is special to God.
This is such a precious verse to me. It speaks to me God's love for His most valued creation, man. Of all that He created, man is the only one mentioned that God did more than just speak into existance.…

No rain yet.
Apparantly God decided not to use rain to water the plants and the trees in the beginning. A mist from the ground is described as the means for this. Somewhere along the line that changed. As the writer…

Does God need rest?
It's probably not so much that He needs it, but that He wants us to realize the importance of it. I'm reminded of times, in my younger years when I would work on my own car. I would get so frustrated…

Were we originally created to be vegetarians?
Reading these two verses makes me wonder if, before the fall of mankind, did God intend for us to survive on fruits and vegetables only? It appears that He intended this for the animal kingdom as well.…

We're special to God!
He must have a special love for mankind to place him above every living creature, to have dominion over them. Oh, I am sure God loves all of His creation, but we are special in all of it. Thank you Father!
