The Cool of the Day

The Cool of the Day

Genesis 3:8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

This past week we experienced a few cool days, a rare thing in this part of the Country in August. It was refreshing, even pleasant to sit outside on the porch in the morning or take a short walk in the evening. We enjoy the cool of the day, so does God.

When Creation was perfect, before the Fall of Man, God would walk in the Garden of Eden in the cool of the day and spend time with Adam and Eve. Scripture doesn’t tell us how long that perfect state lasted. It might have been a long time, but a day came when that all ended. One day Adam and Eve heard God walking in the Garden in the cool of the day and instead of going out to meet Him they hid in the trees.

You see, they were ashamed to face God because they knew they had sinned against Him. They also knew God would not take their sin lightly and punishment would come, so they were afraid. That’s when God cast them out of the Garden.

No person has walked with God in the cool of the day since then, but there is a day coming when all things will be made new, and everything will be restored. One day everyone who has placed their faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior will walk with God in the cool of the day.

Have a God Filled Week,
