Bible Study Thursday Day 1

I'm starting a new feature. Please feel free to join in and link up at the bottom. Give your thoughts on my post or even write one of your own about whichever part of the bible you're reading now. Join late if you wish.

I'm starting at the beginning. I often think we get so busy. But even if you devote 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes of your day at least one day a week I want to hear about it.

I find myself more grounded and calmer when I devote my time and life to studying my faith. I read the New International Version of the bible. Feel free to read whichever you're most comfortable with.

You can choose or choose not to grab the logo above to link here. It's up to you. Also feel free to throw my link in or not. I don't have any rules. But if you comment with a link of your own or link with the linky I'll come visit and follow and comment on your blog. I love meeting and following new people.

Today I'm going to talk about the Creator.

"In the begging God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1

God created everything, he spoke and our world came into existence. He used his imagination to create the heavens and the earth and all that they contain. Stars, planets, mountains, lakes, streams, oceans and so much more. Everything came together and formed what we the people now live in. He created us with the ability to wonder at the world around us. We need to praise him and his imagination and be thankful!

As we go about our daily lives it is so easy to forget that everything around us all came from somewhere and belongs to someone. All of it the air we breathe, the fruit we eat, the beauty we see. It all came from God. He created this amazing place for us.

Let's be thankful and rejoice.

Remember to reflect and pray. Think of the things you have been involved in creating. Your home, your family, and everyday things like a project at work.

How do you feel about it?

How do you think God feels about it?

What different do these creations make in the way you feel about God?

Who is god to me. If I had to pick words to describe him. I would say he is-

Compassionate

Defender

Exodus 14:14

Encourager

Psalm 10:17

I hope you'll join along and I look forward to reading your posts and hearing from you.

Always with love and faith in my heart. Until we meet again,

Chrystal
