Daily Devotion (Gen 1-3)

Gen 1-3

God is orderly and love to see population of animals and people:
1. Gen 1:3-5 - a day with morning and evening
2. Gen 1:6-8 - separation of sky and water
3. Gen 1:9-10 - division of land and sea
4. Gen 1:11-13 - creation of vegetation with seeds of its own kinds
5. Gen 1:14-19 - established the working order of the universe (sun. moon, days, nights, seasons, etc)
6. Gen 1:20-25 - creation of animals in the sky and sea and land, enable them to increase in population
7. Gen 1:26-31 - God created Adam and Eve with nature of God's and take charge of all God's creation.

God let Adam to name all creatures on earth, and took Adam's rib to form Eve as his helper. God's plan for mankind originally was simple in the garden of Eden. Men fall into Satan's trap and missed God's plan.

Gen 3:6 says "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it."

Desire to gain wisdom was the cause of Adam's fall and is the key to success in today's world. Often enough, we pursue the worldly knowledge and values but not the godly wisdom. Sin means "missing the mark" and we are missing God's original plan by missing the mark all the time.

Abba Father, help us today to correct our course from destruction by gaining your wisdom through your words. Enlighten our hearts with your wisdom and help us to focus on our contribution to the community and not on ourselves. We want to be the purposeful generations. In Jesus' name Amen.
