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: Enter With Thanksgiving - Psalm 100:1-5

By
One of the most beautiful Psalms of Thanksgiving is the 100th Psalm. Please turn to it and read verses one through five.

Of all those who “give thanks to Him and praise His name” we should be at the top!  It is not uncommon to compile wish lists at Christmas, and draw up a list of resolutions for the new year. But there is another list we often overlook - a Thanksgiving Day list of all for which we are thankful. What would your list contain? Most likely, a good part would be material possessions. I’m convinced that we would find that we have much more for which to be thankful than just our material possessions.  Like you, I’m sure my list would include the major things - life, health, family, friends, and the nation we live in, despite all its flaws. But even more than that, I’m thankful for my salvation, my Church family, and the mercy that God showers upon us each d...

Daily Devotion: An Important Question

By
In one of the great Psalms of thanksgiving, the writer asked a most pertinent question. “What shall I render unto the Lord for all of His benefits toward me” (Psalm 116:12) ? We may observe two elements in this question. The psalmist acknowledges having received many benefits, or blessings, at the hand of the Lord. For the believer, to be the receiver of blessings from the Lord is a fact beyond question. That is one facet of a proper perception of reality. However, for the unbeliever, or even for the nominal believer, such things come in the course of nature, or as a matter of deserving them. But to fail to see that such benefits and blessings come from the Lord is to lose touch with reality. The other element of the question is that the writer expresses a sense of obligation to the Lord and reveals a desire to do something in response to the amazing goodness of God to him. It is the reflex of the godly heart to desire to do something in response to the perceived go...
