Genesis 2
Today's Scripture

I've read this passage of Scripture many times, and I'm always reminded how wonderful it is that God set an example of rest on the seventh day, and how he created woman for man as his final work of creation. We have much to be grateful for as we work with men and women and benefit from their different gifts, whether we are married or single. And as a wife, I am so grateful for the amazing way God thought of marriage and how incredible it is to be married to a thoughtful, loving, hard-working man.

But a new thought came to me as I read this passage today. Later, when we study Noah, we'll find out more about the ark and how crazy people thought Noah was in a land where it apparently didn't rain. In this passage, we read about how God watered the garden with underground streams. A river waters the garden, and four rivers are mentioned in the text.

God continues to water our souls today. When we go through dry spells--with no rain in sight--we can find refreshment in his Word. He is our Living Water, and when we seek him, we will thirst no more!
