What was the design? The original design that is. What is the design? Does it still exist today?
A friend of mine….the one who came up with “Sandals and a Stick” used the word “Design” in one of our many conversations about God. So it got me using it now too.
How did God intend for us to live? Please be aware I use the name Jehovah in reference to our Creator, God….Heavenly Father…...Jesus’s Father etc etc. I make an effort not to deny Him or His Son Jesus the Christ, Our Savior, Lord and King. It’s just how I am and how I believe.
So, back to the “design” of Jehovah…..Was it wearing clothing? Well we already know that is NOT the case. Adam and Eve were embarrassed to show themselves even to God their Father Creator and covered themselves once they were found out. Not that I want to run around naked all the time but just sayin. :)
So just taking that…..from the very beginning…….to now…...we are NOT living as we were intended.
Next tiny little example…...food…….God states in Genesis 1 that he gave humans…..that's us by the way…...that he gave all the “seeded plants” to us for food and all the green leafy plants to the animals for food…….
OK…….so have you ever been in one of the large food stores lately? Another example of how we are not even living close to how we were intended to live orrrrrrrrrr living to how God’s Design intended.
How about cleaning? Whether it is doing dishes, cleaning the car, laundry or even bathing…..what do we do? Have you ever heard it said that “Water is a miracle cleaner”?, better than anything? And what do we do? We jump in the shower or bath and we lather up like crazy…..and what does that do??? It dries our skin out. Did our Creator God want that? Was that His “Design”?
Can you live how we were “Designed”? I know I am having a tough time! But hey, should we try?
Wow eh? Just a little for you to think about….until next time….think about God’s “design” and read Genesis 1 over and over again until it hits you.
Until next time…..use less….eat less……...Live like we were “Designed” to.
