The Beginning!
This month I will be looking at the book of Genesis, from start to finish. The aim is to build a good and solid foundation from Gods word. We will learn, by Gods grace, how and why we as humans came to being alongside the mistakes and blessings that has brought us to where we are now. I am rearing to go and I know you are too so lets begin shall we?! :D
Book/Chapter: Genesis 1
What Happened: In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and was void but God moulded and structured everything so that it was beautiful. He then filled the void with creatures and beautiful things.
What We Can Learn: God deals with beautiful things! If you are Gods child you are beautiful because God only deals with beautiful things, that is his standard and that is why he had to make sure everything he created was "good" and beautiful before he rested. God does not do shabby, so be rest assured that whatever it is you are asking God for that seems to be taking longer than you expected is being constructed in a way that will marvel you and others! Just wait for Him to finish the work.
God created the Heavens and the Earth by speaking his word out! "God said, let there be light and there was light!" Being a Christian we are thought always to be careful of what we say... we also need to be mindful of what we do NOT say! Its so easy to spend hours praying for certain things and never speak them into being. God word is the key we need to making our lives beautiful. you may be thinking that we are only human and the only reason God could speak out those things is because he is God... you are right... but remember that we are made in the image of God our Father so we should emulate he's actions. Moreover we have been given the power. (Matthew 18:18)
God made man in his own image through the breath of life... we should always pray for God to breath life into those situations in our lives that seem dead.
Memory Verses:
Genesis 1:26 - "And God said, let us make man in our own image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over ALL the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
Genesis 1:3 - "And God said, let there be light: And there was light"
