OK - I'm excited..about ready to start on a "mind adventure"! When you have just turned 55, anything to do with your mind is a bit daunting. But prayer and determination will make the difference. Speaking of that, let's start out with a prayer right now, before we begin...good idea, huh?
Dear Father, Help us as we start out in this study of Your word and in etching Your words into our minds. Give us confidence that You will enable us to remember things that we think we may not be able to. Expand our minds to allow us to absorb all that You give us out of Your Word. Empower us with Your words so that we can effectively overcome our temptor whenever he presents himself in our lives. Thank You, Thank You, for giving us Your Holy Word---it is truth and it is our bread of life! Praises to You, O Father, You are so good to us! In Jesus name - Amen!
OK - Week 1 - Verse 1 - 99 to go! Here it is:
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Starting out easy - but very fundamental to everything else in our faith. Grab on to the first real truth --- God created everything, from the very beginning. No wonder why these are the first words in Scripture. If you can't believe them, it's going to be tough going forward. God has always been and will always be and He has created everything we see.
Got this one down? We'll spend the week discussing --- let me know your thoughts!
