Week 2: Listening to the Creator
God Listened First
Week 2, Day 3
Made in God’s image, we were designed to be in relationship. And our Creator modeled this relationship, starting in the Garden of Eden. We are familiar with the story of the fall of man—sin entered the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command. Today, we are going to focus on the interaction and relationship between the Creator and the created as seen in the following four verses: Genesis 3:8-11 (ESV). 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
What did Adam and Eve hear (v. 8)? What do you think it sounded like?
How do you think they reacted to the same sound before that day?

Week 2: Listening to the Creator
Hearing the Creator through His Ultimate Creation
Week 2, Day 2
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). And throughout the following five days, the Creator
created the marvelous and wondrous things we reflected on yesterday. Every aspect of creation proclaims His glory. And we are no exception.
The Creator saved the best two creations for last when He made man out of the dust of the ground, breathing life into Him, then formed woman from a rib taken out of man (Gen. 1:26-27, 31; 2:18-25). The intricacies of the human body are a marvel. They definitively affirm the design of a creator. Where we differ from animals, and the most fascinating facet of all, is our minds—how our brains form, learn language, communicate, think, process, problem-solve, desire, dream, and perform daily functions.
