GENESIS 1

Today's Reading: Genesis 1

In the beginning, God....
This is the heart of the Bible. God is the Creator. Genesis is not a science book, and there is no explanation of how the universe was formed. In Hebrew, the word day, is one day. All we know is that God created the universe in six literal days and on the seventh He rested. We also find that from this passage that what He created was good.

Application
We do not need to question the Creation by believing in evolution, or a theistic form of evolution. It is enough that God created the universe. We need to rest on the seventh day to reflect what God has done for us. Christians worship on Sunday and we should use that day for rest to reflect on God. Finally, what God created IS and was GOOD. We need to repect each other because God created us in the image of God and creation is good.
Verse to meditate on:
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

GENESIS 2

Reading from Gen 2 The Creation was completed on the seventh day when God rested (v. 1-3). Adam and Eve were created in the image of God. They not only had a body and soul but also a spirit. Adam was given work in the garden of Eden. God specifically told Adam that he could eat of the fruit of any trees in the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for if he ate of it he would die. He was alone so God created Eve for him, to be a helper to him.
Application
On the day of rest, let us rest and enjoy the universe that God has created for us. We should also be good stewards of the earth. God gave Adam like us specific instructions that we are to follow, if not we will face the consequences for disobedience. God had provided all the needs that Adam and Eve needed in the Garden. We shold also trust Him to provide fo us as well.

Verses to meditate on:
15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

GENESIS 3

Reading from Gen 3
This is the chapter in the Bible that described how sin came into the world by the fall of man. God told Adam who told Eve that they were not to eat from the tree of knopwledge of good and evil. That was the instruction, plain and simple. However the serpent, Satan came along and lied and muddied the facts as he deceived Eve. The question was where was Adam? Temptation would not be temptation unless it was alluring and that was what Satan did. This is the lie that many cults teach today that you could be God. Satan is the father of the New Age movement!
We also see the first Messianic promise that Jesus would defat Satan (at the cross). Eve and women after her would have birth pains, and sin would have its effect on the world.

Verses to meditate on:
14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring [a] and hers; he will crush [b] your head, and you will strike his heel."

GEN 4

Reading from Gen 4

GENESIS 4

Today's Reading: Genesis 4 This is the story of Cain and Abel the first two children of Adam and Eve. Cain had offered fruits of the soil while Abel had offered fat portions from the firstborn of the flock. The Lord look with favor on Abel. Cain became angry with Abel and God's rejection of his offering. Cain killed Abel and became the first murderer in mankind.
Verses to meditate on:
9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
Application
Abel had offered the better sacrifice, he did not offered the sacrifice half-heartedly but chose very carefully. The sacrifice is a type of Christ dying for us. Murder is a horrific sin, the murderer takes the most precious thing the victim owns and that is his life.

GEN 5

Reading from Gen 5
This a genealogy from Adam to Noah.
Adam had a third sun Seth (v. 3) and many other offsprings from these sons and daughter the human race was formed. There was Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methusaleh, Lamech, and Noah. Methuselah was the oldest man in the Bible of 969 years. Enoch was an interesting person. He had fellowship with God, and did not die, God took him away.
Verses to meditate on:
24 Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.

GEN 6

Reading from Gen 6
God saw how wicked the world had become and decided to start all over again. He used the flood (Genesis 6-9) This is also the story of Noah. Notice that Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time and walked with God (v. 9). He had instructed Noah to build an ark to transport Noah and his wife and their three sons and wives and animals by pair. The ark was to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. The ark was the only way out of the flood alive. You may say that is a cruel God but to mercy precedes judgment. The people have never seen a boat or an ark ever. I am sure that they asked Noah why he was building the ark, and he told them! This went on day after day, year after year. God was willing to put other people on the boat if they had faith in God but they ignore this. The ark is a type of Jesus. It is symbolic of safety from destruction.
Application
Today we also have an ark of safety and that is Jesus Christ! Judgment and destruction ios coming soon, will you go into the ark of safety and trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior? God is patient and does not want any to perish. Remember mercy precedes judgment.

GEN 7

Reading from Gen 7
The ark was finished and God instructed Noah to take his family and the animals in the ark. The flood came for forty days on the earth. Every living thing including humans were killed. The only one survived was those in the ark.
Application
Only those who receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord will survive the coming judgment. Mercy precedes judgment.

GEN 8

Reading from Gen 8
The great flood happened for one hundred and fifty days. God remembered Noah and spared the people and the animals in the ark. They had to wait for the water to recede. The ark came to rest on Mount Ararat. He had to wait for many days before the flood receded. Noah sent a doce, then a dove to see if the water receded. Noah built an altar to the Lord and sacrificed some clean animals. God told Noah that mankind would not be destroyed again with a flood.
Application
We all deserve to be punished because of our sins but God is patient for a time not willing that men would perish. We see the consequences of God's judgment from the Flood account but also His mercy He shown to those who put their faith in Him.

GEN 9

Reading from Gen 9
God made a covenant with Noah never to destroy mankind with some natural catastrophe. The covenant sign was the rainbow in the storm clouds (v. 1-17). Canaan, the youngest son of Noah saw his father drunk and naked and Canaan told his other brothers Shem and Japheth. Noah awoke and cursed his son Canaan.
Application
The covenant that God made with Noah is known as the Noahic covenant and is unconditional.

Application
The genealogy found in the Bible is very important because it not only showed us the history of the people of Israel and its neighbors nut we can trace the lineage of Jesus Christ.

GEN 11

Reading from Gen 11
Within a few generations, the people have turned against God and decided to build the tower in Babel. The reason was that they wanted to make a name for themselves and not be scattered over the face of the earth (v. 1-9). An emphasis is placed on the genealogy of Shem for that was where the Jewish people came from. Bible references foe Shem are (Genesis 10.21-31; Genesis 11.10-22; 1 Chronicles 1.17-27)
Verses to meditate on:
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
Application
Pride comes before a fall! The reason why the people turned against God worked against them! They could not boast easily because they all spoke in different languages and they were scattered over the face of the earth in time. God had a redemptive plan through the descendants of Shem, the Messiah, Jesus Christ!

Reading from Gen 12
In Abraham case, he made a covenant with him, known as the Abrahamic Covenant. From Abraham, his name would be great and he would be a blessing to him. Notice that the plan was revealed to Abram in steps so that he could understand. Abram had to be patient.
Verses to memorize:
2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

Gen 13, with Commentaries, verse by verse
Abram had his nephew Lot were wealthy and had many flocks, the land could not support the resources. A quarrel resulted because of demands on the existing resources. Abraham told Lot to pick a a part of the country before them for the flocks. Lot chose the choicest and fertile land for himself, he had no regard for Abram. God reassured Abraham that He did not forget him and reminded him of the that he was with him and his offspring would be numerous. Abraham was childless at that time.
Application
Let us not be greedy like Lot when given a choice to get an opportunity in life. The choice that Lot picked caused him to live near Sodom. God is there in the background and He is with us ready to supply our needs IF we trust and obey Him.

Verses to meditate upon:
12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 13But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. 14And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 16And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

Lot made his decision based on taking advantage of the situation. Note that he found himself in trouble. He was in the middle of a war. Abraham had to rescue him (v. 1-16). Abram met Melchizedek, king of Salem, and gave him a tenth of everything he had. Abram did not want anything from the king of Sodom.
Application
Lot got what he deserved. God in his grace allowed Abraham to rescue him. The King of Salem, Melchizedek, is a type of Christ and is mentioned in Hebrews 7
Verses to meditate on:
18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. 21And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

GEN 15

Reading from Gen 15
God made the covenant with Abraham in this chapter. Abraham told God that Eliezer would be his servant since he had no children. God reassured him that he would have a son from his body. Because of Abraham's faith, he was counted as righteous. In the covenant God told Abraham that his descendants would be given the land of Palestine.
Application
Abraham had faith of things which were not seen or realized, the birth of his son, Isaac. God reassured him in steps of faith and Abraham believed God. What about us? Do the way seem dark and gloomy and we don't know the purpose that God has for our lives. We should cheer up and trust and obey God.
verses to meditate on: 6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. 18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river [d] of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates- 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites."

Gen 16, with Commentaries, verse by verse
The issue of the birth of a son came up in the household. Sarai told Hagar to sleep with Abraham and from that union, the child Ishmael was conceived and was born. Hagar became haughty and insolent to Sarah and ran away from Sarai. The angel of the Lord came to Hagar and told her to submit to Sarai, and to name him Hagar.
Verses to meditate on: 11 The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, [a] for the LORD has heard of your misery. 12 He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward [b] all his brothers."

Application
Sarah decided to 'help' God along by letting Hagar sleep with Abraham. This is the problem when we don't wait upon the Lord, we take things in our hands, and the results of our efforts becomes a big mess. Hagar became the descendants of the Arabs, and you can see some 4500 years later what a mess things are in the Middle East between the Jews and the Arabs. Note the prophecy of this hatred is seen in verse 12.

Reading from Gen 17
The covenant between Abraham and God is ratified. The condition was that every male was to be circumcised to show that the people are part of the covenant. The ancestors of Abraham will be given the land of Canaan and God would be their God and the people would be His people.
God also promised Abraham that he would have a son, and the covenant would be with that son and not Ishmael.
Verses to meditate on:
10"Here is my covenant that you and your children after you must keep. Every male among you must be circumcised. 11You must be circumcised. That will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. 12It must be done for all time to come. "Every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. That includes those who are born in your house. It also includes those who are bought with money from a stranger. Even those who are not your own children must be included. 13Any male who is born in your house or bought with your money must be circumcised. "My covenant will last forever. Your body will have the mark of my covenant on it.
Application
We too have a covenant, the New Covenant which Jesus ratified with us by dying on the cross and rising from the dead. God keeps His promises and He is not a liar.

Reading from Gen 18
Three men visited Abraham and told him that in a year Sarai would give birth to a son (v. 1-15). In verses 16-33, Abraham pleads for Sodom when he found out from God that Sodom would be utterly destroy. Abraham had started with asking that Sodom would be spared if he found fifty righteous men to less than five men. God was willing to spare the city if he found five righteous persons!
Verses to meditate on:
14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.
Application
God is not a liar and He kept His word to Abraham even if it take years! People may scoff that Jesus is coming back or about salvation. But God is patient, so that we could repent.

GEN 22

After some 25 years of the promise of Isaac fulfilled, God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, his only son, to God. Abraham was a man of faith and went to Moriah with Isaac to sacrifice him. God provided a ram instead of Isaac. Abraham called the place Jeovah-Jireh meaning 'The Lord Will Provide". Isaac was the most valuable thing in Abraham's life. He was told to give him up. What about us? What or who is the most valuable thing in your life? Are you willing to give that up to follow Him?

GEN 28

Readings from Gen 28
Isaac sends Jacob to Laban since Rebekah had schemed (27.41-46)
Esau married for a third time. The wifes were Cananites.
Jacob had a dream in Bethel where he saw a vision of angels and ascending and descending the aladder from earth to heaven.
Isaac gave Jacob specific instructions not to marry a Canaanite woman but rather a woman of his kin who had faith in God. Esau, on the other hand, went ahead and married Canaanite women! Jacob was reminded of the Abrahamic covenant, that God would do what He had promised.
In a dream, angels appear to be going up and down a ladder from heaven. God had reaffirm the Abrahamic covenant with Jacob and promised him that He would provide for his needs.

Jacob's dream Fresco 1518-19
Verses to meditate on:
16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it." 17 He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven."
Application
We are to marry those who are believers! Paul exhorted it 2 Corinthians 6.14-15 14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? KJV God promised what He will carry out. We can count on His promises.

GEN 32

Readings from Gen 32
Jacob prepared to meet his brother Esau with fear anf trepidation when he heard Esau was going to meet him with four hundred men. He had remembered how he stole the birthright from him, so he schemed and thought of thr possibilities of different ways that he would ensure that he could bribe Esau with gifts so that he would not attack him.
Jacob wrestles with God who appeared in the form of a man through that night. Jacob would not go until he blessed him. When God blessed him, Jacob got a name change from Jacob to Israel.

Verses to meditate on:
26 Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." 27 The man asked him, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered. 28 Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, [e] because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome." NIV

GEN 33

Readings from Gen 33
Jacob saw Esau coming with his four hundred men, and he divided up the wives and children with Rachel and Joseph in the rear. When Esau saw Jacob he ran up tio him and hugged him and kissed him. This was not the reception that Jacob expected. Things went better than he had expected. Esau left him in peace and Jacob built an altar to God.
Application
There is no guarantee that you would have a life free from troubles but when God is in control of your life, He will be with you no matter the circumstances.
Verses to meditate on:
19 For a hundred pieces of silver, [d] he bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, the plot of ground where he pitched his tent. 20 There he set up an altar and called it El Elohe Israel. [e]

GEN 38

Readings from Gen 38
There is an interlude in the life of Joseph and we now focus on Judah and Tamar. Judah married a woman from Canaan and had two sons Er and Onan. Judah got a wife for Er, Tamar. Er was wicked and God put him to death. Judah told Onan to sleep with Er's wife Onan to carry on the family name. Onan knew that the offspring legally would not be his so he spilled his semen on the ground to prevent Tamar from been pregnant. Judah eventually slept with Tamar, mistaken her for a prostitute. She gave birth to Perez and Zerah, which are the descendants of Jesus the Messiah.
Application
Even though what Judah and Tamar did, they were among the ancestors of Jesus. God used sinners to accomplish his purpose.
Verses to meditate on:
Matthew 1.3
3Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram,

GEN 39

Readings from Gen 39
We now continue with the life of Joseph. He ended up in the house of Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's official, God was with Joseph, and blessed him. Pothiphar's wife lusted after Joseph and enticed him to sleep with him day after day. Joseph resisted the temptation, one day she caught him by the cloak and told him to sleep with her but he left the cloaj in her hand and ran. He paid the price for his integrity and faithfulness to God by been thrown in prison.
Verses to meditate on:
9 No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?"
Application
If you were in this situation with a beautiful woman, what would you do? Joseph was faithful and he did not sleep with Potiphar's wife, he fled the house, he did not rationalize his way out of the situation, he FLED!! Paul said to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2.22 Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Readings from Gen 40
Joseph interpreted the prisoners' dreams. He had given full credit to God for the interpretations. The chief butler's dream was interpreted favorably while the chief baker faced a certain death. Within three days the chief baker died and the chief butler was restored to his position. Application:
God brings people in our lives like Joseph and we must be faithful where we are. Joseph could have given up and sulked yet he was willing to be of service where he was. Isn't it amazing that the chief butler did not remember Joseph but forgot him immediately upon his release.
