Monday on iWork4Him we interviewed Dave Kahle about his Book : The Good Book in Business. In this book Dave makes a startling observation of scripture that I have never heard in a sermon, but I believe it to be 100% true.

In Genesis 1, God created Adam. He placed Adam in the garden that He has created and told Adam to work it/cultivate it. Dave Kahle goes on to make this observation and I paraphrase, God gave Adam work before he gave him a wife. It's as if God said to Adam:

"here is your work and by working you will be getting to know me."

We already know God is a worker and a creator, but did you ever think about God wanting to work with you? We do know that God took daily walks in the garden, Adam's workplace, so they could talk. Adam and Eve knew that sound, that's why they knew to hide when they heard it. Did you ever what they would talk about? Would it have been work? The work that God assigned Adam? The relationship they had with each other - co-workers?

God wants to be involved in your work. He wants to walk side by side with you and reveal himself to you as you work alongside Him.

Thanks, Dave Kahle for your perspective this week.

On a final note for today, I heard someone say a few weeks back "Prayer IS the work". Put that in context of your daily walk and it changes everything.

Genesis 2:15 New Living Translation (NLT)

15 The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.
