"The lord planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."- Genesis 2:8-10
Have you ever wanted to move away from where you are to a seemingly better place? I know I have. What jumps out at me today after reading this is the fact that God had planted the garden before He moved Adam there. The Lord made everything happen perfectly. He provided everything Adam needed and then some.
Now here is the question; will we be like Lot and move to the seemingly greener grass next to Sodom? Or like Adam and go where the Lord has already provided. Or even like Peter in a place where he didn't want to be, in prison, but stayed until God moved him.
An interesting thought that is applicable in our job, church, and our home. So who moves you?

Grow where you are planted until the Gardner re-plants you! Even if he is digging around the edges.
