In the Beginning God Created
Read Genesis 1-3
"So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man." Genesis 2:21-22
Can you imagine how Adam must have felt when he saw Eve? A beautiful new creation! Together they would make a home and according to God's Word become one flesh. God created us in His image. May we live life to the fullest accomplishing His purpose.
A new year begins today. What new thing has God placed upon your heart to do for Him? We must do the best we can with His divine direction. Are you ready?
Thoughts to ponder
A Prayer for Today
Lord,
Your Word is a light to our paths. Help us to make your Word come alive in our heart so others may see Christ in our lives.

Obedience is Better than Sacrifice
Read Genesis 4-6
"But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. Noah did everything just as God commanded him." Genesis 6:8, 22
Are you finding favor in the eyes of the Lord? Are you doing everything as God commands? That is a hard act to follow. If we want to please God we must be willing to move forward as He leads.
As this year unfolds, let us begin today to listen to His voice for His sheep hear His voice. Pray and read His Word. Sometimes He will ask us to fast and pray. Starting today, I plan to go on a partial fast for 21 days, praying and seeking His will for not only my life, but also the lives of my family. Meditate on what the word speaks to your heart.
Thoughts to ponder
A Prayer for Today
Lord,
Direct us daily to be an obedient vessel. May my life be used by you so others may know you.
