A Journey through Genesis

Before I begin the book of beginnings, I ponder that I’m not just reading a casually written, ancient book that has no connection to us today.  Instead, I realize that I’m reading a book that has been inspired by the Holy Spirit and cherished by billions of people over many, many generations.  I feel so small compared to its author, its stories, its application to the lives of mankind.  I pray that the Holy Spirit will help me connect with our amazing creator and heavenly Father, see the foreshadowing of Jesus, His Son, and then, through His precious word and His compassionate love for His creation, be inspired to live for Him each day.  I welcome you on this journey of reading through the book of Genesis.  I pray God’s blessings upon all who join in the journey.  ~ Jeff

PRAYER: “Gracious Father, help me to make time for You in my busy life.  Let me start at the beginning, with the treasure of Your Word in Genesis.  In the strong and precious name of Jesus, I pray.  Amen.”
