The Farmer
by PamFord Davis

God didn’t curse Adam for eating forbidden fruit; he cursed the ground he’d have to work.

“Then to Adam He said, ‘Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;

Cursed is the ground because of you;
With hard labor you shall eat from it
All the days of your life.
Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;
Yet you shall eat the plants of the field;
By the sweat of your face
You shall eat bread,
Until you return to the ground,
Because from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return. (Genesis 3:17-19 NASB).”

Do you know a farmer?

They diligently work the ground; some might grow wheat for the bread you find at your mom & pop grocery or supermarket. Think of farmers as you pull loaves off the shelves and drop them into grocery carts.

God has not forgotten the farmer or his hard work.

“The Lord will command the blessing for you in your barns and in everything that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you (Deuteronomy 28:8 NASB).”
