I Never Thought Of That!
By Mark Flippo
Genesis 2:10-14-16-17 (MSG)
A river flows out of Eden to water the garden and from there divides into four rivers. The first is named Pishon; it flows through Havilah where there is gold. The gold of this land is good. The land is also known for a sweet-scented resin and the onyx stone. The second river is named Gihon; it flows through the land of Cush. The third river is named Hiddekel and flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates. GOD took the Man and set him down in the Garden of Eden to work the ground and keep it in order. GOD commanded the Man, “You can eat from any tree in the garden, except from the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil. Don’t eat from it. The moment you eat from that tree, you’re dead.”
We know that generally speaking rivers run downhill. So Eden was on a plateau. Thereby making it easy to create four rivers. Every good and perfect gift comes from above. Rain that feeds our fields comes from above. Getting the idea? We need to bring ourselves up to edens level to have a better understanding of God. We are blessed to have many wonderful things of God flowing down over us.
