Check out the word husbandman and it is translated the farmer.

Our God gardens. Look at his first project.

After creating the world; he created a garden.

He chose a place east of Eden. The word eden means delight or pleasure. There the Lord planted a garden. The world was created with plants and animals. He created a man and then he created a special place for him to live. A place so wonderful it’s name was The Garden of Pleasure. We treat the word pleasure like it is nasty, but pleasure should be pure. Pleasure comes from enjoying the delights God has given us in the setting He provides.

So what did God plant in the Garden?

Genesis 2:8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Then God brought the living animals He created to Adam so He could name them.

Genesis2:19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

Then God created the woman to be in the Garden with Adam. Our Creator loves to fashion what is beautiful.  And in the evenings, God came and spent time one on one with Adam and Eve.

Genesis3:8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day:

Now Jesus in John 15 tells us God is gardening again. Jesus is the vine, we are the branches and the Father tends the vine to produce fruit.  And we know God is tending his garden to produce the sweetest of fruit.
