Week 2: Listening to the Creator
The Potter Creates a Masterpiece
Week 2, Day 4
The Creator is not done yet. The following poem was a simple song I learned as a child in Sunday school. I encourage you to reflect on the words of that poem and the verse below as you color, or draw on the next page, the Potter’s hand.
“He’s still working on me,
To make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be...
For He’s still working on me.”
We would love to hear from you! Please share with us what you are hearing and how you are growing in your devotion to listening.

Week 2: Listening to the Creator
God Listened First
Week 2, Day 3
Made in God’s image, we were designed to be in relationship. And our Creator modeled this relationship, starting in the Garden of Eden. We are familiar with the story of the fall of man—sin entered the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command. Today, we are going to focus on the interaction and relationship between the Creator and the created as seen in the following four verses: Genesis 3:8-11 (ESV). 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
What did Adam and Eve hear (v. 8)? What do you think it sounded like?
How do you think they reacted to the same sound before that day?
