[Discoveries] 02-17-08 The first command -- Genesis 2:16

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free ... " -- Genesis 2:16*/

What was he free to do?

I love watching little children play. The moments come and go with spicy 
unpredictability -- running barefoot through mud puddles, storing 
dragon's treasure in the refrigerator, digging up rocks from the garden 
and purifying them in the bathtub.

"How 'bout this!" is what my kids used to say, just before they make up 
some new twist to an old game of pretend.

God's first command to the human race starts with His enjoyment of our 
spontaneity. "You are free," He says. And with a twinkle in our eye and 
a smile on our face, we reply, "How 'bout this!"

Be encouraged!
Dwight
