Suppose Eve asked Adam what he wanted for dinner. Adam couldn’t decide, but he wanted to stay within God’s will, so he went and asked God: “What should we eat for dinner?”
God’s reply was: ‘Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.’
So Adam returned and told Eve. Eve again asked what Adam wanted for dinner. Adam replied: “Peaches.” Eve asked whether he wanted peach pie, fresh peaches, peaches mixed with other fruit, or served some other way. Adam, wanting to stay in God’s will, said that he would go ask God and he did.
God told him: “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
So Adam went back to Eve and said: “I think that any way we want to have them would be in God’s will.”
All through scripture we can see that people make choices that are in God’s will without God directing their choices. Adam named all of the animals: Did God tell him what to name them? God’s will is not a bullseye – it is a defined circle. Anything in that circle can be done within His will.
