BIND – Day 1

Bible In 90 Days – Day 1

Reading: Genesis 1:1 – Genesis 16:16

Take Away(s):

• The Christmas Story begins!  I read an article a while back (though for the life of me I can’t remember where) that talked about how the Christmas story actually started in Genesis with God setting in motion the reconciliation of Himself to His creation after the fall.  It was cool to have that in the back of my mind today as I read about creation, Adam & Eve, the fall, Noah, and the introduction of Abram and Sarai.
• The other observation was Cain’s interaction with God (4:9-16).  It just seemed so casual and irreverent.  When I first read it I was “wow…how inappropriate and cocky.”  As I scanned the reading a second time, I was pretty convicted.  How often I have a similar attitude with God about my sin and His plans.  Day One and I’ve already convicted by the Wrecking Ball (God)!

One of the benefits that the Bible in 90 Days program talks about is being able to read the bible in a shortened time frame so that all the interconnected details of God’s Word are seen and appreciated.  I am excited about this especially!
