Genesis 2:15
The garden of Eden was perfect. Beautiful, fruitful, and overflowing with abundance. Perfectly created by God, it provided everything man needed for life. Adam was tasked with the responsibility of looking after the garden. To be a good steward of the bountiful harvest the Lord so generously blessed him with. We too have been tasked to be stewards of the world around us. For we also have been generously blessed. And just as Adam was entrusted with the care of the garden, we are entrusted with the care of God’s creation. This involves cultivating and preserving not only the gardens of the physical world, but also the spiritual garden of our own hearts and minds. We should nurture the seeds of faith, kindness, and love. Keeping and tending our garden so our lives yield a spiritual harvest which reflects God’s abundant grace. Because like Adam, as stewards we play an integral role in maintaining the beauty and vitality of the Lord’s creation.
