Genesis 1

Genesis chapter 1

Genesis is a large book with so much to offer. It is the Bible's account to how all we know came to being. To take away from it, or to call it fables is to take away the very foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ. In Psalm 11:3 it says 'If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?'. I have found in my own personal experience, that when I take God's Word on faith, he gives me everything I need to believe and see the wisdom in his word. To trust in faith in God is not a blind faith. God will grant you every comfort and reconcile your doubts.

As we begin in the first chapter, you cannot help but think of the words also in John the first chapter. God and his word always existed and absence of his word means to not exist. I've taken some of my thoughts from Spurgeon's Devotional Bible (ISBN 0-8010-8043-6) published by Baker Books.

Starting at the beginning God creates our universe. Our planet and galaxy did just happen by accident or in some big explosion. It was created, crafted rather, by God's omnipotent hand. When he created it, there was nothing of distinction and it was dark. The same as our hearts before God knocks and we except the Savior's salvation. Here in the second verse we have the second part of the trinity as the 'Spirit' moves on the  waters.

God said let there be light, and THEN there was light. He created the Sun, the stars and the reflecting moon. It didn't exist until God spoke it. Thus in speaking, and then in the creation from those words we have all three parts of the trinity. The Father, the Word (Son see John 1:1), and the Spirit.

Then notice from the very beginning of what we call time, God made a separation of light and darkness; Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness. but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of Light. God made the separation and then gave them names and then was the end of the first day. Looking at John 1:3 we find, All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 

I will post more later.
