In the Beginning

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light, " and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light com the darkness. God called the light "day"  and He called the darkness "night". Evening came and then morning: the first day. Genesis 1:1-5

As we approach a New Year I have decided to go back to the beginning. Along with the first words in the Gospel of John I love these verses. I love to see my God there and in charge.

His love created the universe and our Earth for His pre-determined race called mankind. His work was 'good', as excellence marked all His work. No short cuts, nothing missing, all as He planned it.

Whether there was a time lapse between verses 1 and 2, we may not know until we see Him face to face. In an effort to explain why there were prehistoric creatures that did not seem to fit in the world we read about, some believe that the reason the earth was formless and empty was because what was there had been destroyed. This is a plausable explanation but we do not have concrete proof and if there were dinosaurs God could have made them and then destroyed them in the flood, who know?. Scientists will continue to struggle with the evidence. We cannot deny that they were there, but the timing causes problems.

I can accept my God was in charge and what He created He approved, that I like.

I can allow for whatever My God chose to do, I do not have issues. Amen!

'Beofre the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
From eternity to eternity, You are God.' Psalm 90:2

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
