Adam gets the dog here. Poor Adam. God curses the ground so that Adam will have to toil and till the rest of his life. Not only that but God says that the land will produce "thistles and thorns" which will really make it a pain in the ass to get anything out of it. And here comes the big line I've heard at every funeral I've ever attended , "for dust you are and dust you shall return"3:19.
When I look at all the incredible productive and fruitful farms in the land you can't help but admirer humanities ingenuity at overcoming this dreadful curse. Where there's a will there's a way.
So Eve gets a husband as punishment and Adam shall toil a thorny land just to eat. Not only that when he dies he'll return to dust. God says nothing about what happens to Eve when she dies. What do you think?
In the end Adam finally names his wife Eve, and God takes the time to cloth them like a loving father. For all you fashionistas out there it appears that God had sense of fashion. Maybe you're on to something.
Finally, the thought for the day....God delighted in us and therefore he saved us. How have you delighted God today?
