Proverbs 16:4 (ESV)
The LORD has made everything for its purpose,
even the wicked for the day of trouble.
Everything in creation exists for the purpose of the Lord. Scripture tells us that He has created mankind as the only creature who can choose between life and death, between light and darkness. To choose God is to choose life. His light is the life of man.
The garden of the Lord is found in the heart of man. It is there we choose good and evil. It is there we can pick the fruit of the tree of life or the forbidden fruit of disobedience to the word of God. The light and darkness of creation describes the interaction between God and mankind. God enters the darkness of man with His light of life. Those who receive the light are joined with the Lord. The two become one. The Lord will rest when His work is done.
