Ok, so I have recently started on a quest to read entirely through the Bible...
I just finished Genesis..And I am blown away by how much I read that I did not know or that I forgot. There are many books in the old testament that I have not ever read! Isn't that terrible!? Now-- I have read through the new testament over and over!
I loved what I read and learned in Genesis and I am excited to learn more! It's amazing how God can bring His word to life...even stories from thousand of years ago...
His word really is alive, living water!
SO I have learned all about everything from Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, the Tower of Babel, Noah and the Ark, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Joseph and Pharoah...through births and deaths, floods, cities destroyed, through all of it-- I have read God's faithfulness! His faithfulness to the generations of generations, his provision, his favor, his goodness.
Reading Genesis and becoming more familiar with this history of God...it feels like when you get to know a close friend at a deeper level..you learn a deeper side of them- their history- which is part of their complete character today.
So thank You God, for allowing me to know You a little deeper...and your character of who You are today...for your goodness and faithfulness is the same today as it was thousands of years ago.
"For I am the Lord, I change not.." ~ Malachi 3:6
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." ~ Hebrews 13:8
Ooh, this is awesome, lady! You make a great analogy there...getting to know a close friend at a deeper level...love it. :) I've tried reading through Genesis time and time again, but always end up letting it go...I'm encouraged to try again! Thanks!
