Evening the Time for Reflection
Genesis 3:8
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day…


"The cool of the day," which to God was the season for visiting His creatures, may, as it respects man, denote a season of reflection. We may sin in the daytime; but God will call us to account at night. Many a one has done that in the heat and bustle of the day which has afforded bitter reflection in the cool of the evening; and such in many instances has proved the evening of life.

(A. Fuller.)
