I know I am pulling this verse out of context, but in a way it sets the context for what the passage is all about. We are presented here with a picture of something established by God earlier back in chapter 2:15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” 18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” God had created man and put him in the garden He had created for him, and God talked with him. God then made Eve, put her in the garden with Adam, and made it a habit of talking with them. As hard as it is for us, try to imagine having a relaxing stroll with God, talking about the day. Then you live the next day anticipating the next conversation, rehearsing what you will say when you talk again. God is on your mind. And you know you are on His mind. This month we're going to walk and talk about walking and talking with God. Let's start today talking with Him, then going through our day thinking about what we will say to Him (which in fact, we don't need to wait to do; we can do it right now, at this moment), and let us live life with Him on our minds, knowing we are on His mind.
