Daily Scripture Readings: If you're reading along with us, today’s McCheyne Reading Plan passages are:

Deuteronomy 10

Psalm 98

Isaiah 38

Revelation 8

Take 15-20 minutes to read these chapters, then come back and join me.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 3:8 (ESV) And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool[a] of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

Key Points:

God created the Garden of Eden as a place of perfect harmony and communion with Him

Adam and Eve walked with God in intimacy and trust, not just gaining knowledge

The temptation was to seek knowledge over relationship/intimacy with God

Today, we can feel spiritually dry despite having access to immense biblical knowledge

Our primary calling is to walk intimately with God, not just know about Him

Practical tips for intimacy: daily quiet times, journaling, nature walks, sabbath rest, community

Takeaway: "It's not about what you know, but who you're with. The vibrant life we long for is found in intimacy with Jesus, not just knowledge accumulation."
