Genesis 1 ~ Praying God's Word


Please read Genesis 1.
Meditate on verse 1a.

In the beginning God…

The most important thing you will ever think is what you think about God. 
For what you think about God will determine every other aspect of your life.
­­—Dr. D. Jeffrey Bingham

What you think about Genesis chapter one will determine how you think about every other page of God’s Holy Word.

Please answer these questions:

            *Who is the only eyewitness to creation?
            *Whose account is Genesis 1?
            *Who said six times, “There was evening and there was morning, one day”
                        (Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31)?

The answer to all three questions is: God. God was the only one present at His creation of the world. He was the eyewitness to what took place 6000 years ago. He spoke the world into existence. He confirmed that truth in John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:15-17, and Hebrews 1:1-3, and He gave the added insight that Jesus is the Word of God who spoke. God is the definer of a day, and He told you six times exactly how long a day is.
Why would anyone dare question God’s eyewitness account of what He alone did? What do you think of someone who questions or adds to a story you are telling when they weren’t even at the event?
As a follower of the Creator of the universe, Jesus Christ, it is important to take His first recorded words literally. If you choose not to, you handle carelessly the rest of His Words, conveniently deciding which ones apply to your life and which ones do not.
Pray Genesis 1:2-3 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“God, apart from You, _________
and I are formless and void,

and darkness is over us.

Spirit of God, move over our lives.
God, speak Light into us.

In Your name, Jesus~”
