This week we finish Genesis. As you reflect upon the readings for the last 6 weeks, what stands out to you about Genesis? What did you learn you didn't know before? As a Christian, what did you learn about the God you serve? Any surprises? Any "Aha!" moments? Take a few moments to reflect on these questions. Record your observations in a notebook.
For me, I was reminded of God's provision in spite of myself. As a child I remember these Bible characters as the perfect followers of God. As an adult, I discovered they were human like me and God uses them anyway. I'm not sure where the myth we have to be perfect for God to use us started, but what a myth! Truth is God just wants to us to respond to his extended hand. He will lead. He will provide. He will pick us up when we let go. So simple. So hard.
Take a moment and pray about your walk with God. Where are you? Where do you want to be? Pray with the honesty of Abraham, Issac, Jacob and Joseph.
As always, your comments and thoughts are appreciated.
