Today we complete the first book in the bible, Genesis. This book of beginnings lays a foundation for the plan of God. In this book we learn of God's desire for fellowship. We are introduced to a God who is not far away from humanity but who is desirous of our interaction with Him on a continual basis. Genesis not only introduces but also lays a foundation for our faith in God.
In Genesis we learn that God is a Creator. His power is unlimited towards solving issues .We also learn that He is the All Sufficient One; The Lord our Provider. We have also seen Him lay a foundation for the salvation of mankind. Genesis is a colourful story of the happenings that lay a foundation for God's desire to have a people who love Him He is not just in heaven but He shows Himself as the God of continuity. He establishes Himself as the one who is Able as nothing is too hard for Him. He makes it clear that we should place our trust in no one but Him alone as He is our Shield.
We see that whenever one chose to follow God and abide by His principles there extended a blessing that was over and above the norm. Look at Enoch, he walked with God so much that God just decided to snatch him. There was no time to die like everyone else. Noah found grace in a time of judgement as he walked with God. Abraham was called a friend when God was about judge Sodom. Isaac prospered in the place that God had ordained for him so much so that a king and his top general came to pay homage. Jacob was conned his salary 10 times but yet the one who conned him said that the only reason he prospered was because of Jacob. Imagine a conman appreciating that the only reason they have prospered is because the can see God with you. Joseph stepped in Pharaoh court and not only gave an interpretation but gave counsel that set him above everyone else. Genesis clearly shows one thing that if you choose God's way you will be over and above the rest. As you go about your day to day chores, as you proceed with your career path, as you step into your home, business, marriage my prayer is that you will walk with God. No one has ever walked with God and failed.
