Thought for Wednesday February 8

O bless the Lord, my soul!
All creatures look to you
to give them food in due time.
When you give it to them, they gather it;
when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
O bless the Lord, my soul!

 

Genesis 2: 4 – 17  The LORD God gave man this order: "You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  From that tree you shall not eat; the moment you eat from it you are surely doomed to die."

 

Would the world be better if God had said, “Do whatever you want.”?  Why did God give us a limitation?

 

Action:   Learn something new today with the intent of using that knowledge to do good in the world.
