Genesis 2

Book: Genesis

Oct 1

This is how a storyteller reflects a story’s flavor, called the “setting.” It is the “setup” for the rest of the story. It instills in the reader a core foundation from which the characters will begin to walk into the unfolding plot. And it is in that unfolding plot where they will find what awaits them. In this case this setting is intended to orient the reader to the core of this God’s desires for His creation and thus set the reader up for where God wants to take this story. No one can read this and not feel good about what is going on. God brings forth all that the reader has appreciated from his youth forward, the skies, the clouds, the foliage, the animals, and most of all man himself. Man must appreciate that he has breath in his own body and can enjoy moving and discovering this creation. But more than this it reflects a gracious, powerful and good Creator, the Hero, God.
