A story of how God creates the world continued...God has now made man and woman, Adam and Eve. It is their responsibility to work together to tend the Garden of Eden without eating fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:15
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
There are so many different occupations and career paths nowadays, and it's very different to know that God's initial "career" for Adam was to simply watch His creation and take care of the beautiful nature around him. I feel that we sometimes forget that since technology and culture has taken over. One of the original responsibilities we had was to sustain the environment... and it sucks that it's only when the damage is observed is when we take action, such as global warming.
Application: everyone has a role as a disciple of Christ, as a member of society, and also a responsibility to care for God's creation as his personal gardeners.
