"Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them."
Genesis 3:21
I think it would be cool to wear clothes made by God. :) This also makes me wonder what kind of immense learning curve Adam and Eve had upon exiting the Garden of Eden. They might be able to use the clothes that God made as a pattern, but thorns had just been introduced (verse 18), and so they had no experience with those, or probably any harsh thing in the world. I mean, we all have a sharp learning curve as we grow up, but they didn't have anyone to help them with any of it, except God.
I think in some ways that gave them a unique opportunity to learn reliance on the Lord, and perhaps that is also what some of the trials in our lives teach us that we couldn't learn on quite that level in any other way... that God is there, even when *all* else fails.
Today, let's look to God for our support, and for that solidness that is so lacking in the world. He will be there for us, always, if we take the time and spare the thought to seek him.
