Day 1 - The Beginning

Have you ever made a decision late at night, and after having a good sleep and gaining rational thought, wondered why in the world you decided what you did?

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what compelled to choose March 21st as the beginning of this adventure. Out of all the days in March, I chose probably the busiest day all month! (After thinking about it for a little bit earlier on, I came to the conclusion that God chose today. He knew that I would need to start on a hard day, to kick it off right. )

As you can see, this would explain why I am blogging at this hour. I'm sure this won't be the first time.

Tonight I read through Genesis Chapter 1.

With God's creation of the world and all of its inhabitants, there is a lot to grasp in this one chapter. I have read this passage many times and the full meaning of it continues to evade me, yet there is always something new to capture in the essence of what is being told.

So much about God's character is revealed in this one chapter.

His power; emptiness becomes a creation simply through His words. This also speaks to the fact that there is NONE like Him. No one else can speak and cause something that is not to suddenly be.

His unfailing love and care for his people; God creates Eve because Adam is alone. I always find it so hard to understand how an all-knowing God could still create mankind when he knew that we would primarily choose everything and anything over Him consistently.

An interesting fact that I'm sure I knew before, but just really took it in tonight was the fact that it seems that God meant for all creatures, including humans, to be completely vegetarian.

Now, in no ways am I saying that we should all be vegetarians. It just gave me a new understanding on the extent of the distortion on the way God meant things to be. We should be walking around peacefully eating grass with killer whales (Well maybe not walking or eating grass with them) lions and cougars. But of course, with the fall everything in God's plan became distorted.

My prayer is that this has somehow been something that speaks to my heart, and that it brings glory to God.

Lord change my heart. Make me see things through your eyes.

Blessings
