• Read Psalm 104

Reflect on the following questions today:

• Of all the marvelous works listed here, which impact your daily life?

• What is the most amazing to you as you read?

• What do you learn about God from these verses?

We are going to spend the next couple weeks looking at some of the
passages in the Bible that talk about the original creation. As we are
digging into New Creation on Sundays in Revelation, we are going to
spend the devotional time investigating more about the creation that
we see outside around us!

• Read Psalm 19

Ponder the following questions today:

• If we could hear the speech of the heavens, what do you think they are saying?

• In creation, what moves you the most to prayer and worship of the creator?

• How do verses 7- 14 relate to the first 6 verses?

Spend a few minutes praying these words about yourself from
Psalm 19:

• Forgive my hidden faults.
• Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me.
• May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer

Spend some time this morning praising the Father for the creation
that you can see outside of your window.

He has been gracious to us for sure!

We began some reflection the other day about ways that we decide we
are better determiners of our own path than God is.

• Read the following: Proverbs 14:1, Proverbs 16:25, & Proverbs 21:2

Reflect on these questions today:

• As you look back over your life, have there been forks in the road where you chose your own path? Times when you were your own leader?

• How did that work out for you?

• How can you begin today to commit to following God’s ways for you? What does this look like in your real life?

• Read Genesis 44-46:7

Watch the following video from our friends at the Bible Project:

• Has there been a time when you chose to eat from the life of Jesus and proclaim Him to be your Lord?

If this is something that you are confused about or have questions,
please reach out to a “leader around this place”: Keith, Andrew, Benji,
Cathy Shreve, or Susan. They would love to talk to you.

• Read Genesis 1-3

Consider the following questions:

• After the slow crawl through these chapters the past couple weeks, what pops out to you in today’s quick reading?

• Adam and Eve made a choice to take their lives into their own hands. Disbelieving that God had the best and wisest path for them, they took their own road. Where do you see, in your own life, you going your own way instead of God’s way?

Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal this to you.

• Read Genesis 3:21-24

Reflect on these questions today:

• The first animals are killed on earth to make garments for Adam and Eve. Why is this significant as you think about the rest of the Bible?

• How does this simple act demonstrate God’s incredible care for this couple?

• I sometimes forget that Eden was a garden amidst the rest of creation. So the couple gets banished from the beautiful garden that was their home. How is God loving them in this decision?
