LIFE IS LIKE A GARDEN In the beginning, Adam was the first gardener. Even the Garden of Eden, as perfect as it was, had to have somebody taking care of it, and God gave that job to Adam. God expected man to tend and, in a sense, improve on His creation. Gardening never ends. You’ve constantly got to keep fighting the weeds, the bugs, the varmints, the pests, the rot, the fungus, the mold, the blights, and all kinds of the Devil’s attacks. God’s garden is constantly fighting with the Devil’s garden. The Devil’s garden is hellish, and the Devil is trying to transfer it to earth. He’s trying to create hell on earth. His whole idea is to try to defeat God’s plan by overrunning and destroying God’s garden, but he’s not going to succeed. Life is like one big garden and we’ve all got a lot to learn about it. No gardener knows everything. Only God, the Creator of the garden, knows everything. Like every gardener, the rest of us have to study and learn from other gardeners and from God, the owner and the head of the estate. There’s plenty to learn and plenty of work to keep us busy from now to eternity! — 1 Corinthians 3:7 ESV - So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. Genesis 2:9 ESV - And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. John 15:5 ESV - I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
