Once upon a time, when all was perfect and right and beautiful in the world, God planted a garden.
After the Creation, after making man, God planted a garden. The first vocation in the Bible is gardening, and it was done by God Himself.
God is a gardener.…we see this theme of God as the Gardener throughout Scripture. Jesus the Messiah even embraced gardening Himself.
Maybe gardening is a holy vocation. It must mean something to make green things grow, to prepare the soil and turn over the ground, to plant seeds and nourish life.
Where is your garden, friend?
Listen to Episode 49 of the Presently Engaged Podcast. May Jesus’ followers be mistaken for the gardener, serving where we are called, loving where we are placed.
