I have purposed this year to read my Bible every day. I am trying for 2 or 3 chapters each day, but if I need to do less, I will. I will follow this each day by journaling on what I have read. This is something I have never done. I am doing this in hopes that I will gain a better understanding of what God has said in His word. I’m not going to go into deep exposition, word study, or cross referencing. I just want to get down what God has spoken to me each day. I hope you will follow along with me, and do this challenge yourself. May God bless you in the reading of His word!
Genesis 1
The Word of God begins by describing His creative acts. It is unapologetic in giving credit to WHO did the work - In the beginning GOD…! No one else was present and no other force was needed to effect the creation of all that is. Three things that stand out in the creation story: 1) God put everything in place exactly how and where He wanted it to be. It is so precise that you can use the stars for a calendar. 2) Although all of the animal kingdom, including man, would share creation, we are all intended to be unique and different. Therefore, we are all intended to reproduce our own kind with our own kind. God didn’t throw things in a bag and mix them up, and He doesn’t intend for us to do that either. 3) Although God says that creation is “very good,” man is the only part of creation that was made in God’s image. We were intending to be the crowning glory of God’s work, and were given charge over it all.
