Dress it!

"Dress it!"

"And Jehovah God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it" (Gen 2:15).

In Hebrew, "to dress" the garden signifies God giving humanity the responsibility to care for, protect, and honor the work of His hands. Similarly, Psalm 121 :3-4), reminds us that God "...will not let your foot slip... He who watches over you will not slumber.”

Through this, God demonstrates how we should watch over and cultivate our own responsibilities. Do not think this only applies to you helping others dress. It also includes dressing the "garden" of your own life. You must care for your own physical, spiritual, emotional, and social needs by keeping God's commandments.
