It’s good to remember, God is always the initiator. This being true, it necessitates man being second. God sought us first, and not vice-versa; we were lost, not God. God knew us before we knew Him. And we’re plainly told “we love Him because He first loved us.” I knew and loved my four children before they were ever conscious of a knowing, loving father.
It’s humbling, but true. God works in us His plan, will, desire, and pleasure; and as a result, we work it out “with fear and trembling.” This is the way it has been from the beginning.
God planted the garden in Eden, afterward, Adam dressed and kept it. This should challenge each of us to restrain ourselves from initiating things in our lives and ministries if God is not the originator of such.
Jesus said, “Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.” In other words, whatever we plant, won’t bloom!
