Bible Commentary

Genesis 2:17

God gave one boundary among countless gifts. Trusting God means trusting that His boundaries are for our good, even when we don't fully understand them.

Memory phrase: God asks us to trust and obey.

Talk about it: Why do you think God gave one rule?

Prayer: God, help me trust that Your rules are always for my good.
