Day 2/365 Bible in a Year

Today I had to read Genesis 1-3. This is what I re-learned from today's passage. I know it's wordy, but I'll try for it not to be.

Chapter 1: 

Day 1 for God. He created the heavens and the earth. The earth had not certain shape and there was nothing in it, on it, or around, but God. He also made light. Then he called the light day and the darkness night.

Day 2 for God. He created a seperation between the waters of heave and the waters of earth and called it the sky.

Day 3 for God. He created land by pushing the waters of the earth all to one place. He called the waters seas. Then He created vegetatoin on the earth.

Day 4 for God. Hecreated lights in the sky to govern the day from night, the seasons, and to give us light. The sun for day, the moon and stars for night. The stars as most of you know help us with determining the seasons.

Day 5 for God. He created life for the sky and the sea. (Fish and birds). 

Day 6 for God. He created all the beasts of the earth, livestock, wild animals, and critters alike. He also created mankind. Male and female. "Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness". Notice the plural? He was already God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit before He even sent His Son to die for us. He was just chillin' up there with His Son until we messed it all up for Him.

Day 7 for God. He saw what He made, and He saw that it was good, so He took a load off and rested on this seventh day.

I know that y'all probably already knew all this, but it is AMAZING to think that ONE GOD created everything!!!! Just astounding!

Chapter 2:

Adam and Eve

So, you think you know the story of the rise/beginning of mankind? Did you have it in mind anything like this?

God made Adam out of dust. Who else can do something that awesome? NOONE!!! Not even Houdini! But God did, and He put Adam in a garden in the east called Eden. There were many trees in Eden and among those trees was the tree of life and of the knowledge of good and of evil. 

In Eden, the river that watered the trees split into four branches. The Pishon, the Gihon, the Tigris, and the Euphrates. Anyone who doubts that the Bible is real, re-read the names of the last 2 rivers mentioned. The what? And the what now? The Tigris and the Euphrates! Yeah baby! Read it again!

God put Adam there to work the garden, and told him not to eat from the tree of life and of the knowledge of good and of evil.

God brought all the beasts of the earth and the sky and the sea to Adam so he could name them all. God knew he needed a helper, but of the beasts, no suitable helper was found so, you guessed it! God created Eve, a woman from Adam's rib bone. OUCH!

They became one flesh and apparently they werre married :D

Chapter 3:

The Fall of Man...

So you though things were going pretty well huh? Well they were. Adam and Eve walked with God daily, they talked to God, discussed things with God, maybe even SAW God. Can you imagine physically SEEING God???!!! I don't know about you, but I would be physically peeing my pants!!! You?!
 The serpent...oh the serpent...the evil little serpent...!!
Eve was chillin out, maxin, relaxin, all cool, eat some peaches out by the pool when a sly serpent comes crawling by...and says, well, "Did God really tell you not to eat the fruit from that tree?" and Eve, of course tells the snake the truth. She tells him that God said if they ate it they would surely die. 
Now, the serpent is a tricky character.
He tells Eve she will not "surely die" so of course she believes, because noone has really lied to her before. God doesn't lie. But the serpent did. 
She takes the fruit to Adam after she eats from it and feeds it to him. Then BAM, they realize they are naked. So the make clothes for themselves.

Well God comes around and they hide because they are naked. They literally heard God coming and hid. God asks who told them they were naked..Really? The God of the universe is going to ask a question like that? He already knew the answer!! So he punished the serpent and the humans against eachother and said that the humans would always want to smash the serpents head and the serpent would always want to bite the humans' heals. 
To the woman He increases birthing pain, and gave her the desire for her husband, and the hisband he gave rule over his wife.


God banished them from Eden and made them always work to make their food, they would surely die, and not live eternally.


Well? Ain't that something?? I hate to say I'm glad Jesus died, but He did. For us. I am so greatful for that, so now I can live eternally with Christ. Amen.
