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!
