The Tree of Knowledge.

"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." Gen 2:9.

Do you ever wonder why God created these trees? When faced with evil,what kind of thoughts race through your mind? Are they like mine: "Lord,Why all these evil!? Can't You do something quick!?" followed by, "God,what have You created!?" and so on. Many today don't want anything to do with God because of the evil/s they behold daily. They even wonder if a loving and kind God truly exist. All they know of is evil, even when your watch the news and movies "created" today, all we see is the knowledge of evil at its best,or should I say,at its worst?

But come to think of it, isn't the knowledge for both, good and evil? Is it that we only have men (i.e, evil men) with vast knowledge of evil ruling and running things? Where are the good men? Are they all dead? Is there not suppose to be at least a balance in nature between good and evil, men?
In a general sense, what are we doing with the knowledge we have? Is it to pile up riches for ourselves? Isn't this what has taken over both good and evil men? That many good men are transitioning into the evil ones. Glory,fame,riches,power,honour,etc is what many(we) are all seeking relentlessly day and night.

The good men believe that as soon as they "grab" power,fame,glory,etc they will change the world for good. This has only led millions to the "trap of old". But what did Christ do when faced with the exact same challenge? "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." Mat 4:8-10
Christ simply directed the solution and fix to the worship and service of God. Check yours, are you in synch with Christ? Have you left your self-ish and endless pursuit of wealth,power,fame,etc to focus on God, the Creator of everything, and has given ALL these we seek into the hands of His Son,Jesus Christ. Seeking God through His Son/Lamb, who has received all (Rev 5:12), in worship and service is the only fix.

Ambassadors of nations represent their kingdoms in power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing, anywhere and everywhere they go! Choosing to worship and serve God in Christ is a great honour given to believers. We are supplied abundantly and beyond all measures because we belong to God's kingdom (Phil 4:19). This is the knowledge(of good) that will change the world.
The purpose of creation is to reflect God's glory in this material world, and not to seek these glory(p,r,w,s,h,g and b) elsewhere in order to change the world. Any God-seeking nation is bound to remain at the top of nations. Shouldn't we "apologize" to God and seek Him in worship and service,for this change for the good we desperately need?
