The reading in Genesis today made me thing of the time of Moses when it was written (since Moses wrote it). The way Moses describes everything God created is so literal. I love seeing the innocence and simplicity in his description of the complex world God created. As humans we like to have explanations for everything that is complex, but in reality, there is no explanation for a God who can create everything that is around us. Praise be to a God who made all of this for us.

In Psalm 1, the verse that stood out to me was verse 1, Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. We all make choices in life. We have the choice to listen to evil and half-truths or we can listen to what God has to say. God’s voice comes to us in many forms. Sometimes He speaks to us through the Bible and sometimes He chooses to speak to us through others. We must ensure we surround ourselves with people who are able to speak God’s truths into our lives.
