Genesis 2:5

The plants that man needed for his food were not growing. There were two reasons for this.

• There was not enough water for them. But God could send that.

• There was nobody to look after them. And man could do that.

So God sent water (in verse 6) and he put man in the garden (in verses 7-8). God’s work and man’s work were both necessary. In many things that we do, God’s work and man’s work are both necessary.
