1 - In the beginning .....

And God said Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and tokens [of God's provident care], and [to mark] seasons, days and years.

Genesis 1:14 AMP




 Kathleen's Thoughts

To start the year off at the beginning of Genesis, how appropriate is the start, "In the beginning". It's the beginning of a new year and a journey through the word John1; 1-2 says… In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

I loved when God created and separated the day and night then said it would be a sign for festivals and for days and years. We will see as we journey further into the word that God loves festivals memorials at certain times of the year and has stipulated for us to remember them.

It is here that God also brings the living creatures to man to name them, this I found interesting. It was here too that Adam named his wife Eve. It is also in this book Genesis chapter 2:24 where God joined man and woman and states firmly that the man must leave his father and mother and bond with his wife.

It is also the fall of a beautiful angel who was an anointed guardian cherub now known as Satan. Ezekiel 26:14 You were an anointed guardian cherub, for I had appointed you. What he became is what sin is here on earth completely corrupt, an angel of lies.
