Hello! Welcome to the adventure of studying God's word with me. The first five books of the Bible are called the pentateuch of the Bible. What does that mean exactly? It means that it lays a foundation for the rest of the Bible and informs the reader of it the authority assumed by its writer. It means that the writer of the Bible has supreme authority as law-giver and controller of life. The book of Genesis emphasizes this starting with the creation story. It shows that God is in control of life and creation of it. It also shows God's intentions for His creation by understanding what it was like and it's role before sin. Divine control. Finally, it shows God's promises. It shows that the God that is in control promises to use His creation for great things in His name. He loves us and wants us to be what we were created to be. The pentateuch will be a journey of perfect follow through on His promises to those that love Him. I know I want a God like that!
My prayer: God, thanks for your help in understanding your word that much more and the guarantee that you do follow through with everything that you promise. Thanks for being in control so that I don't have to be. The knowledge of true control is comforting when you are changing my life. I know that you will take care of me when I need you. I know that you have control of everything around me. Please take control of me, and use the knowledge that you have instilled in your word to change me. Change my Heart. Continue a good work that you have started in me.
