You are Free

You are free to eat from any tree in the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil… - Gen. 2:16-17

Knowledge, hence judgement, was supposed to have been reserved for God alone. Knowledge of good and evil. We were supposed to trust God regarding everything. God is a God of peace and order. He meant for us to have abundant life. Relying on Him and not our own knowledge, judgement, discernment. Total reliance. Total trust. Total belief. Imagine having a peace about every detail being taken care of. Imagine looking to God and being granted direction without the confusion of options. If God knows what is best (and you know He does) and He tells you what is best and He has the best plan for your life, do other choices really matter? Do we really need to experience the power of having all options before us and choosing what we think best from our limited knowledge of the potential outcome? Wouldn’t it be easier just to seek the Lord and listen for His voice? You want wisdom? Knowledge? Seek to know the Lord more and more. Read His Word so you know the kind of God He is. That’s the only wisdom you need. Know that He would never lead you down the wrong path. His desire for you has always been life and blessing. You don’t need to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God has everything you will ever need and He will supply. God does not want you distracted and burdened and confused with good and evil. He has taken that upon Himself. He alone wants to be the Judge and Discerner. He is a God of peace and order for you. God knows all… and with great love for you shows the way. It is safe to seek Him, hear Him, obey Him, trust Him. Don’t wear yourself out examining all options and possibilities and trying to discern. Too much information is overwhelming, isn’t it? And with God at your side, totally unnecessary. You have been set free. It is safe to trust in God… with everything. Your reward will be a garden of peace and security and order.
