0014 - The end of the garden of God

Even though they had come to the end of the Garden of God, they had hope of a better day ahead and they exhibited faith that what the Lord promised would come about.

Genesis 3:16-20

¹⁶ To the woman he said,

“I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth.
    You will bear children in pain.
Your desire will be for your husband,
    and he will rule over you.”

¹⁷ To Adam he said,

“Because you have listened to your wife’s voice,
    and have eaten from the tree,
    about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’
    the ground is cursed for your sake.
You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life.
¹⁸     It will yield thorns and thistles to you;
    and you will eat the herb of the field.
¹⁹ You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground,
    for you were taken out of it.
For you are dust,
    and you shall return to dust.”

²⁰ The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
