Scripture Union Daily Guide 26th March 2022 Devotional | Outline

The book of Genesis starts with the phrase, ”In the beginning, God”. The writer does not attempt to define God. By faith, humans should understand God to be the One who made the heavens and the earth. “He is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King” (Jeremiah 10:10). In Jeremiah 10:11 the prophet declares that “the gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens”.

In vs.1‐2 it is worthy of note that we are not informed how long it took Almighty God to create the heavens and the earth. Scientific study suggests that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Note also the presence of the Spirit of God at creation. From vs.3‐19, what did God introduce into creation to bring it to the ordered form we are seeing today, and how did God cause that to be?

Notice the repeated statement “And God said” in today’s passage. Note also the other expressions, “God made”, “God called”, and “God saw that it was good”. Our God is active, and He loves and appreciates beauty.

Practice/Word Application
And So? Let us appreciate God’s creation and work together to preserve it.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?

Closing Prayer
• Lord God Almighty, we praise you for the beauty of your creation.

Prayer for the week
• Pray against the spirit of fear of failure. Pray for faith and grace to trust in the Lord knowing He always does good and not evil. Pray for grace to believe God and believe His word, knowing His word is yea and Amen.

Offer a prayer of faith in line with
Psalms 22:19; Deuteronomy 4, 5, Acts 18
