I have to warn you - I have absolutely no idea how this blog is going to look. Some days I may read just one chapter in the Bible. Other days I may read a whole book. Some days I may blog multiple times a day about different things and other days, I may not have access to a computer (that is a slim chance) It's all really up in the air. I also have to warn you that when it comes to my thoughts and my writing sometimes its all over the place. That's me - messy at times, but it doesn't matter... all that matters is that you get a glimpse into the good book. Maybe you've read it, maybe you haven't, but I hope your soul gets a drink whenever you read because that's what its about. His word will fill you, it will satisfy you. All you have to do is open the book and read.
Tonight I read Genesis 1, which talks about God creating the earth and all in it.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
God said,"Let there be light," and there was light.
God said,"Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water."
God said,"Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear."
God said,"Let the land produce vegetation"
God said,"Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give lights on the earth."
God said,"Let the water teen with the living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."
God said,"Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sear and the birds of the air, over the live stock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
(NIV)
The things God said are what stuck out to me the most in this chapter. As I was reading I couldn't help but think about how awesome it is that God simply spoke and things happened, things were formed, life was created! God is so amazing that all He has to do is speak and life just happens. How cool is that? I think that's how God is in my life....just because He is in my life, just because He speaks to me and guides me things happen in my life, that otherwise wouldn't happen.
Thought of today: The gospel is meant to extend to all people...even those hated.

I love LOVE love that you referred to it as "the good book". It is.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree. It is so fantastic that He just has to speak and things ARE. It makes me wonder how I could ever question things in the world. If he can speak and create things, who in the world am I to question the way He runs them!?!
Oh God. You are so much greater than we can even come close to understanding!
To your thought of the day, I say, "ESPECIALLY to those who are hated."
I believe I heard that "thought of the day" in church and it was a good reminder to me that I may not always like people, but all people, those included deserve to hear the Word.
