Several years ago when there were some stressful things going on, someone I thought was my friend made a suggestion to me. She suggested that every day I read one chapter of the Psalms a day and one chapter of Proverbs. I did it for a long time but as time goes on I quit. This week I heard a preacher say that his morning Bible Study consists of the chapter of the Psalms and Proverbs but also a section of the Old Testament and a section of the New Testament.
I had started on the first of the month with the chapter of Proverbs and Psalms but yesterday I added in the chapters of Old Testament and New.
Todays readings then were Proverbs 5, Psalms 5 Genesis 2 and Matthew 2.
Lesson learned: Did you know that the Garden of Eden was only a small section of the world at large? And that Adam was created OUTSIDE of the garden and then placed there? But Eve was created INSIDE the garden.
Genesis 2:4 When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens-and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up for the lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground- The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living thing. Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden, and there he put the man he had formed And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground.......
Not sure what all this means but I find it interesting that the rest of the world was a desert. Any thoughts to share?
