Genesis 1

Devotional:
Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! (Genesis 1:31a NLT)

Look around. Everything you see was created by God. God is the Creator of the entire universe! Sometimes it can be difficult to see the world around us and believe that God created it all to be very good. That is the beauty of this chapter! We are being invited to behold the very good creation that began the universe we live in. God created us and all things to reside in His presence. God created the universe not as something for Him to oversee, but to be present and involved with. Can you see aspects of this world that are very good and reflections of the perfection God intended?

Pray it:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – I thank you for making this world and for making me. Help me remember that all the beauty of creation comes from you and to worship the Creator rather than your created things. May the beauty seen in this world remind me of how special it is to be made in your image and to stand as the pinnacle of your creation. Amen.

Excited for this new adventure. Praying over all who read and live out God’s Word in the days, weeks, months, and years to come.
