Eden, Haiti, here…why?
By Jay Brinkmeyer
“Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” He (Adam) answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” Genesis 3:8-11
Have you read any news stories from Haiti recently? Gangs… chaos… inflation. If you have, you’ve surely shaken your head, felt a lump in your throat, and asked our Heavenly Father, “Why?”
All the challenges facing Haiti today, began in the Garden of Eden. The pride filled speeches and tempting promises to lure our votes in this country were originated when human teeth sank into that piece of forbidden fruit in Eden. Since the time humans heard and believed the lie from the serpent deceiver in the Garden of Eden; all forms of godless rebellion have never stopped in Haiti or anywhere else on this planet. Sin brought hopelessness to this world. Jesus came and changed everything. Sin is still with us, but Jesus brought us the promise of Paradise. Jesus changed everything. Eternal life with Jesus; no more cemeteries, cancer or crime. No more oppression, depression or suicide. No more corruption, pollution or disruption.
The remaining amount of time each of us has facing these challenges is short when compared to Eternal Life with Jesus. While knowing that is a wonderful promise, the amount of time left on our journey before we will meet our Savior is moving by quickly. In the remaining grains of sand left in your hourglass, please ask our Heavenly Father to use your time, treasures and talents to help bring a plate of food and the Good News about Jesus to the lives that haven’t heard in Haiti, our country and around this world.
May God be with you.
