Always the Plan
Genesis 1:28 (NKJV)
“Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion…’”
When you go back to the beginning, before sin, before separation, before brokenness entered the story, what you find is not just a garden… you find a Kingdom. God didn’t create humanity just to exist, He created them to rule with Him. There was authority, there was purpose, there was closeness. Adam and Eve weren’t trying to get to God, they were already walking with Him. The Kingdom wasn’t distant, it was present.
That’s important, because a lot of us view the Kingdom as something we’re trying to reach one day, when in reality it was something we lost. And ever since Genesis 3, the entire narrative of Scripture has been about restoration. Not God trying something new, but God restoring what was always intended.
Think about it like this. If you walked into a house that had been abandoned for years, windows broken, foundation cracked, everything out of place… you wouldn’t assume that’s how it was designed. You’d know something happened. That’s humanity. We’ve gotten so used to dysfunction that we think it’s normal, but the Kingdom reveals what life was always supposed to look like.
And Jesus didn’t come just to forgive sin. He came to reintroduce the Kingdom. To bring us back under the rule, the reign, the covering of God. Not just someday, but now in part. That means your life isn’t random. You’re not just surviving. You’ve been invited back into something that existed before the fall ever happened.
Prayer:
Father, thank You that Your plan for my life didn’t start with my mistakes. You have always had a purpose, a design, a Kingdom I was meant to be a part of. Restore my perspective. Help me stop living beneath what You’ve called me into. Teach me to walk with You again. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
