After God finished creating everything, He rested on the Seventh Day, a.k.a. The Sabbath. Even Jesus said in Mark 2:27, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.”

That interested me. God rested on the seventh day. The first six days He created the earth as we know it and the sun, moon, and stars.

The sabbath is another one of God’s many gifts to us. Even in today’s anti-Christian society, Sunday still manages to be the slowest day. I thank God for Sunday’s because my family and I normally after church take that day to spend together, rest, relax, etc.

I think that it is cool that God, when He created the earth created a day of the week for us to worship Him, rest, go to church, spend time with family, and just take a break from the other 6 days of working and the fast pace world. Our God truly is an awesome God.

Something else my eyes were just opened to was that God Himself set the example for us. God rested on the seventh day.

Please leave me a comment telling me your thoughts.

I thought that Adam and Eve were the first two people on earth. I am coming to find that may not be true. I have recently studied in Genesis and found they may have been, but they may not have. God did show me that there were people on earth besides them though, Adam was just the one whom God breathed the breath of life Read the rest of this entry »

One thing that to this day I do not understand is why some Christians believe the theory of evolution.  Since we have been blogging about God creating the earth, lets look at Genesis 1:20-22.  In the New Living Bible it reads, “Then God said, ‘Let the waters swarm with fish and other life.  Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.’  So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird-each producing offspring of the same kind.  And God saw that it Read the rest of this entry »

When I read Genesis 1:6-8 my eyes were opened to something very interesting. In the New Living Bible Genesis 1:6-8 reads, “Then God said, ‘Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.’ And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. God called the space ’sky.’ And Read the rest of this entry »

Many things in life we take for granted. One of those things I just realized as I was writing this post and reading in Genesis is day and night. We think day and night were always there, but Genesis 1:3-5 reads, “Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. Then He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light ‘day’ and the darkness ‘night.’ And everything passed Read the rest of this entry »

I know on Monday you are expecting a verse of the week, but I will post that tomorrow morning.  Nest week it will be back to Mondays.  According to what I have heard and figured out about time and the bible, the earth shouldn’t be older than 15000 years. If this is true, then how can scientists say that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago and that the earth is millions of years old? This interested me and then my Uncle told me to read Genesis 1:1-2. Lets take a look at it. In the New Living Read the rest of this entry »

Genesis 37:5-11 reads, “Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more.  He said to them, ‘Listen to this dream I had: We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.’  His brothers said to him, ‘Do you intend to reign over us?  Will you actually rule us?’  And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.  Then he had another dream, and he told his brothers.  ‘Listen,’ he said, ‘I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.’  When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, ‘What is this dream you had?  Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?’  His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter Read the rest of this entry »

I do not believe so after reading Genesis 1 and Genesis 4.  In Genesis 1, God made man.  Genesis 4:16-17 reads, “and Cain went out from the presense of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.  And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch…”

To this point, Adam and Eve only had Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1-2).  Genesis 4:25 reads, “and Adam knew his wife again; and she bare…Seth:  ‘for God,’ said she, ‘hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.’”  This verse implies that there were probably none between Abel and Seth.

Genesis 3:3-4 reads, “and Adam lives… and begat a son in his own likeness… and called his name Seth:  And the days of Adam after he begat Seth were 800 years and he begat sons and daughters.

I feel that God opened my eyes to see through all these verses that there were more than just Adam and Eve on earth.  Adam was who God breathed the breath of life into.  How could Cain leave his parents and get married at the time he did if Adam and his wife hadn’t born any daughters?  There must have been others around.

I was reading Genesis 6 and in verse 19 God tells Noah that two of every living animal should be brought on the ark. Obviously he needed and received God’s help. Can you imagine the feeling of awe Noah must have had seeing all the animals coming so Read the rest of this entry »

In Genesis 6 God commands Noah to build an ark.  Not just any ark, but one to hold him, his wife, his sons and their wives, and two of every animal of the time (male and female).  Noah was also told to gather enough food for everyone on board Read the rest of this entry »
