We have a responsibility

This may seem a bit off topic, but, bear with me, it is going somewhere.

One of my favorite stories in the Bible is from Genesis 2. It tells the story of how God made Man, and put him in the Garden of Eden. God commanded man to take care of the place. If you are familiar with the story, you probably know too that God gave Man the responsibility to name the animals.

For many years I took that to mean Man had the task of naming the animals, and that was that. Man had a God given task to do, and like most tasks, Man was to take care of it by himself. But if you read it more closely you will see in there that not only did Man have the responsibility to name the animals, God was so interested in it, he went out and brought the animals to Man for him to name.

Think about that for a moment – here you have God, the all powerful creator of the Universe, and what does he do? He facilitates the process for Man to do his work. He wants to see what Man names the animals. He wants to see the job is done. He is interested in the results.

And today, God still cares that the job gets done, and wants to see you be successful in your work too.
