Summary: God may give us a home but he will be with us wherever we choose to go.
Genesis 2:10-14
A river Watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Application: The river runs out of our home (God's blessing and provision) into the unknown. To me this is God saying, "there is more out there, I'll provide for you if you want to leave". It is the road to discovery. God provides an abundant source of water (his portion of the growth process within our world) out of Eden, saying "When you are ready, follow the river out into the world. The world is yours for the taking, you may leave at any time and use the water to grow anywhere you like. Anyplace in your space is good, feel free to pick your path. The river does not just head in one direction, God is not forcing us one way. The river leads to different lands, puts the choice in our hands as to which way we want to travel. Our world is our domain, ready to explore and claim as we see fit. God will provide the water. His living water doesn't pin us down, it branches out and goes wherever we need it.
