As I read this chapter I began to imagine what the Garden of Eden must have looked like. It had to be very beautiful. I am sure that there were lots of flowers and trees. There even had to be a waterfall and a lake. I imagine that it smelled like all the different flowers that were there. It would have felt safe, cool, and inviting.
The bible never talks about Adam and Eve having a traditional wedding, but they were married none the less. I think that there marriage had to have been one of give and take. They would have had equal partnership in the relationship. They would have gotten along. No fights to be had. Everything was perfect.
I think that God planted Adam and Eve in this garden paradise because he knew what was going to happen. This was all part of his plan. He saw this happening long before it did. God made them trustees of his estate and they blew it. Eve thought she knew better than God and listened to the Serpent. That got her into trouble.
This chapter shows us how sin can be so inviting. How it can lure you away from God in an instant. This chapter also shows how you can get back to God by being at your lowest and realizing that your way is not the best way. God has a plan and a purpose. He knows what he is going to do before it happens.
We have to accept the fact that God sees and knows all. We can't hide from him.
