Daily Devotion: Genesis 1:31

By

Genesis 1:31    "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

"God saw every thing that He had made." God saw every - yes, every - thing that He had made. He saw light. He saw darkness. He saw firm ground and the water. He saw the sun, moon, and stars. He saw the grass and trees. He saw every fish. He saw every beast of the earth. And yes, God saw man. He declared every thing to be "very good".

God made man in His image. I do not understand that to mean that man looks like God nor does God look like a man. Rather Adam was made in a sinless state.  He was made pure as God is.  We know that did not last very long, but God declared every thing, including Adam to be very good.

As we go forward in this study, let us be reminded of God's holiness and His perfect work of creation. As we think on those things, let us also stop to realize that man lost that state of sinlessness because of his transgression of the ONE law given by God.  It was because of this transgression that Jesus came to this world to die for our sins. 

Let us praise God for His marvelous work of mercy and grace given to us through His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Daily Devotion: Colossians 1:25-26

By
Colossians 1:25-26    “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;  Even   the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” In verse twenty-four, Paul has expressed his joy in bearing hardship for the church. It is of this church, the body of Jesus Christ, that he is made a minister. Since Paul used the phrase “made a minister” in verse twenty-three of this same chapter, it seems there is something important that he wishes to convey. The Greek word translated as “made” means “to cause to be.” It was the will of God (Col 1:1) that caused Paul to become a minister. God is always the cause of true ministry. Although our fathers may be ministers, if we become true ministers of the gospel it is  not  because our fathers are ministers. True ministers of the gospel do not take that path because they seek honor for themselves, or b...

Daily Devotion: Exodus 7:6-10

By
Exodus 7:6-10    "And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent." Moses and Aaron had begun to doubt whether they were right for the job the LORD had given them. Here, it is evident that God granted them a renewal of their faith. Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them. In my opinion, all truly successful outcomes in our lives begin with this. Moses and Aaron were not young men. Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old. Still,...
