Genesis_1

Scripture - What stood out?Genesis 1:27So God created man in his own image,    in the image of God he created him;

    male and female he created them. Observation - What does it say?In the beginning, God...The book of Genesis explains how it all began. The first chapter explains God’s work in six days. And the first words of the bible provides the basis for all of it. In the beginning, God... Understanding - What does it mean?Any non-creatives out there? Do you ever read the first chapter of the bible, look at all that was accomplished and wonder at the level of genius required to create everything you and I know? Forget about the workload, just the sheer amount of “creativity” seems daunting. I have a hard time creating internet passwords! Just as we are all drawn to our own names whether read or spoken aloud, I am drawn to the moment when we (humans) were created by God. Created in his own image. I have sped past this verse so many times in my lust to get another iteration of bible completion under my belt. Yet as I slowed down and read and re-read this verse I have decided to make this verse pivotal to who I am. Here are some things that I know that I know that I know about God-  God is love, God is creative, and God is hard working. And I am created in His image.  Life Application - How can I apply this to my life today?I am going to look into the mirror this morning and tell myself:"Kenneth, you were created in God’s image. You are loved, You are creative, and You are hard working!" God may I stay true to You. In the name of Jesus do I pray, amen. -kenneth lee
