"
My All - Is A Privilege "
He was strictly told of the one thing he
could not do! The supreme principle was right there in the beginning. The main point,
which was the pivotal point of the entire concept is grasped by any with a true hunger for
the truth. They as well as all of us have been given the same command. We as well as they
who fell to the temptation, are also falling to the temptation and being disobedient.
Consider the possibility of a layman translation for the command, being: It is not yours,
It is Mine, Do not use it for your own purposes! Regard it as being Mine!
God told Adam not to partake of the tree
of knowledge of good and evil which was in the center of the garden of God. What if Adam
had realized that this tree was God's special and private tree? What if he would have
thought, Oh Lord, it is such a privilege to take care of your Tree. I am going to do every
thing I can to see to it's well being, I'm going to treasure it with all of my love and
attention. It is yours and only yours, and I am going to protect it with my life. I
believe, then God would have revealed to Adam what it contained. God would have revealed
to him the knowledge of good and evil without having had to experience the ugly side of
the cost of disobedience. Sin nature was present in man, even in the very beginning; as it
was revealed through the cunning act by the subtle beast.
I now choose to make a comparison of the
life of Adam to my own. God gave Adam a command which is the very same command He is
giving me. I am not to eat of This, His Tree, which is in the center of His garden. In
considering this thought, I see that His garden is wherever I happen to be; my presence
happening to be the center of the garden for it is where I am at, at any given moment; my
life is the tree which I am not to consider my own because it is His; so now what is the
correlation of this tree in my life; I wonder if it is my heart, my mind, my hands, my
feet, or something else. It is my entire life; it is my entire service to Him, my entire
waiting upon Him, wherever He leads me in any opportunity that He gives me, proving by my
works as a confession of love for Him.
What about the command, The Lord's
command, give him the first ten per cent of every thing? This tree being Adam's first ten
per cent, also being ours is a thought I choose to consider. God's example for us proved
this point as Jesus knew, he had no sin nature but he did possess the knowledge of good
and evil; which was proven when approached by the devil; His reply was: "It is
written. " So now I know that if I first consider that my life is not my life, and I
will willingly lay it down and consider it His, by allowing Him to live His life through
me; I will then be blessed by God to receive of God, that knowledge which comes only from
God, to be able to fight a good fight; to be able to engage in warfare against my subtle
enemy which I can not fight with my own strength and expect a victory.
