“This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created. When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens- 5 and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground- the LORD God formed the from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” ~ Genesis 2:4-7 NIV
For centuries, two great questions have been 1)Where do I come from? and 2) What is my purpose here? We’ll deal with the second question later. First, we need to realize that we are God’s creation. He created everything around us – the earth, the air, the stars, the sun, trees, plants, animals, right down to single-celled creatures. But His greatest creation was man and woman.
Further Thoughts:
- Do you believe you are special and loved by the Almighty? Why or why not?
- Have there been lies spoken to you in your past that have made you believe you are unloved or unwanted? If yes, how?
- What Scripture mentioned here refutes those lies?
- How does God’s creation plan show you that you are loved?
Pray: Father, thank you for creating me with such love and care. Teach me to live in that love because I am made in Your image and You gave me life. Amen.
Glad to have you back!! Will you be mostly in Genesis or all over the Bible? I started CBS last week (one of the things I wanted to do when I retired and finally getting around to) and we are doing the book of Genesis this year :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ladies. Debbie, this one will be jumping all over the place because it will be basic theology, not the study of one book.
