Genesis 3:24 - Back To The Garden Someday (Bible Journal)
"[24] After sending them out, the Lord God stationed mighty cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden. And he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life (Genesis 3:24 NLT)."
It is a sad situation, messing up and having to leave the perfect paradise that was set up for you. It is easy to shake your head at Adam and Eve for making such a dumb move (just don't eat the fruit, follow the basic instruction you were given). Then, I remember all the sins that I have committed, and realize many of those were also dumb moves. But thanks to God giving us a way back to Him through the payment of our sins through the work Jesus did, we can one day go back to what is the equivalent of that perfect garden. I certainly don't deserve it, but I am thankful that God has made it possible.
Thank You Lord for the work of Jesus to save us from our sins, and thank You for the reminder that I'm not only far from perfect, but that I need help in resisting temptation too. Please have mercy on me for my past mistakes, and please help me to be better today. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
