Know Knowledge Knew

Before we begin, I would like to just take a quiet moment and thank our Heavenly Father for His Comfort which I pray will be bestowed upon the family and friends of Wayman Tisdale, bass guitarist.
He will truly be missed and loved forever.
His music lives on!
Many years ago, my husband took me to The Beacon Theatre to hear Wayman play.
What an awesome time we had as we strolled backstage to greet him.(truly a UT!)
I remember thinking deeply about his choice to leave $basketball$ for music.
As I have steadily grown in the Lord; I think I know (now), why he did such a thing.
Which brings me to today's topic:

KNOW. KNOWLEDGE. KNEW.
There is a play on words here.
A dual meaning.
No knowledge knew; in the beginning of it all.
There are steps to be taken before an achievement can be completed.
To know knowledge is to say in the end, "I knew ".
The Bible gives us full coverage about Knowledge.
The Tree of Life bears much fruit.
For knowledge is the key of Life.
*Christ, our tree of life: Genesis 2:9

In the middle of the Garden of Eden were two trees; the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Each tree identified by name. Each name carrying with it a promise of God. God's will was for Adam and Eve to receive His gift of eternal life by trusting His word and so to eat the fruit of the tree to which that promise was attached. But they did not trust God. Adam and Eve chose to go their own way and disobey God, they ate from the tree from which God said "do not eat".
In doing so received their just desserts; not only the promise of the knowledge of good and evil but the promise of death.
And so three results of the fall were:
1.God's law was broken
2.God's creatures tasted death as a result of God's promise
3.The way to the sacrament of the tree of life was barred by God.

But God would not leave it that way, his purpose is to bless his people with eternal life.
And so, Jesus reverses the results of the fall:
1.in life, he kept God's law and fulfilled it for us
2.in death, he tasted death for everyone
3.through his sacrament, Jesus supersedes the tree of life, offering eternal life to all who will feed, not on the fruit of the tree, but on him by faith
The Tree of knowledge teaches us of good and evil, which in my opinion of Life, is different from good and bad.
Sometimes bad, can be good.
I (we) suffer divorce but for a renewal of sobriety.
My son suffered the loss of his '95 Camry for a new! SUV! praise GOD.
2040 paraphrased says:
" I may not have ever made a move to buy a new car before I had to,
had my car not died."
My daughter says, " You have to go inside to get outside (a situation)."
Now the second child, well, he wasn't aware the great amount of knowledge he possessed until his experience passed, or of past. Now, he clearly knows.

When we use the tools GOD gives us properly, the harvest is always great.
GOD does not want us to be without (knowledge), thus, He is our Provider and we must use it, share it, grow.

Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture. -Psalm 100:3

I leave you with this scripture:

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else. -Isaiah 45:6

Know He loves you and too, I am, your support.
