God really did create so much more than we have yet experienced. And in Isaiah 40 we see something of His defence and praise of Himself, as well as His continued tirade against idol worship. In the ten commandments God was very specific about NOT making images to worship.
To bless another person means to approve of them, to wish them good things, and to pray that they achieve the plans of God for their life. As God sent Adam and Eve out to care for His garden, He was wanting them to succeed, be happy, and reproduce.
Adam and Eve walked in the garden in the light of the Lord, and had constant fellowship with Him. That fellowship was broken when they ate the forbidden fruit, Genesis 3:6-7. Think about that story for a moment. The first people God created walked and talked with their heavenly Father.
Back to the creation which, by the time we reach these verses has been completed. Here we read of the blessings God was giving to the first couple on earth. They were told to produce children, who would reach every corner of the globe, and they were to be vegetarians!
Muslims will say that Allah is the same as Jehovah, under another name. But a brief look at the teachings will tell us that this in not true. People brought up in many Asian countries will say there are many gods, one for each section of society, or each activity.
Throughout the Bible God brings His people back to the fact that He started the whole earth, and is in fact still in charge! This chapter begins with a prophecy that must have shocked the Israelites. God was going to bring a pagan king to lead His people.
There is so much in the book of Job that is pertinent to our day, and so many sins that he confesses could challenge us in our daily conversations. We must remember daily that God will help us say the right thing at the right time if we trust Him.
As we reflect for several days on the whole of God's week of creation, especially the 6th day when He made man, we are looking at several Bible verses, which encourage us to believe that it happened as it is written. For you created my inmost being.
The writer of the poetic book of Ecclesiastes is generally believed to be David's successor, his son, King Solomon who was known for his wisdom. Some of the verses expound great wisdom, but many suggest that he may have been having a bad day when he wrote them.
Mankind was given authority to rule over all the earth. How we failed!! We have failed because the devil intervened with his seductive ways, and Adam and Eve gave the rule over to him. But God knew that would happen. He had a plan of redemption even before time began.
