I have decided to go through the book of Genesis right now in my quiet time with the Lord. It is absolutely Amazing to read through and envision God speaking the World into existence! Piece by piece, Day by Day! Not even moving a finger but speaking this universe, this World into being! Creation being set forth by the mighty power of the voice of God! I love how the Bible reveals that God didn't just say World exist and everything at the same time came forth! While reading Genesis 1, verse by verse the Holy Word of God reveals the awesome display of God! Light, Darkness, Water, Land, Birds, Beasts of the fields, the stars in the galaxies, and Man! If I were completely honest with myself, then I would have to confess that I do not take every second of the day as I walk outside to stop and recognize His glory and awesome display of creation! I pray that this very view and outlook of life would become even more real as I read through the Book of Genesis! I love to think about the relationship that Adam and Eve had with God up until the "Ultimate Fall and Depravity of Man". Chapter 3 presents the "Ultimate Fall" of man, as the serpent, cunning and sly, directs Eve into believing that God was trying to keep her from knowing "ALL" just as God did! Then Eve eats and Adam follows the pattern of disobedience and thus the State of Depravity takes root! As I read the passage where God banishes Adam and Eve out of the garden, I can't help but tear up because of the truth of our separation from God; however, when we read the gospel, we can be encouraged by the sacrificial Lamb and how he cleanses us when we acknowledge our true, evil condition, repent and by faith, receive Christ as our Savior and Lord! From there, God curses the serpent, man and woman from then on out! The Fall continues to get even worse when Eve gives birth to Cain and Abel! I will get into the 4th chapter tomorrow. I will also talk a little more about the origin of Satan, which is suspected to be The King of Tyre. Until then I encourage you to take time during the day and behold His Awesome Display of Creation! Praise Him for it and take joy in His beauty!
For His Kingdom,
Twiga
