Good morning,
This week we continue our series, Who is God? My goal is to pick a chapter of the Bible that speaks to the character of God. This week we look at Genesis 1.
Genesis 1
God of Creation
First Day (v1-5)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Second Day (v6-8)
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
“…God created…” is the key to this week’s lessons. We will observe that God created all things, in an orderly fashion, in 6 days. As we read this week’s devotions, look at the action words. God was not passive. God created, said, saw, divided, called, and made. That was just the first 2 days.
The first 2 days God created the heaven, earth, light, day, night, firmament, and heaven.
