Bible Reading Journey::Genesis

• I think I often lose the wonder of the creation account.  Maybe that's why Scripture takes so much space to continue to remind us that God is the Creator.
• Can't imagine living hundreds of years with animals without ever seeing a woman!
• So cool that God calls man "very good."  They're words of pleasure.  And they counteract my performance addiction.
• Temptation starts with a question.  I need God to sanctify my curiosity.
• Interesting that the first murder takes place between brothers.  We often hurt the ones we love the most.
• This verse is like Bible caffeine.  It wakes me up!
• I can't think of a higher goal than this.
• The Ark must have been a bumpy ride.  I wonder if any of them got seasick?
• I think I neglect the discipline of altar making.  I want to build more reminders into my life of what God has done along the journey.
• Three big faith words: So Abram went!
• Abraham wasn't the brightest husband.  There are some things your wife says that she doesn't really mean!
• I wonder if Lot licked his wife?
• Radical obedience.
• I know the Patriarchs are heroes of the faith, but so many of their stories are absolutely head scratching.  You did what!?
• I think I'll marry my daughter like Abraham married Isaac.  More control that way!
• I don't know if I'll ever understand why Esau would sell his blessing for one meal.
• Sin always comes back around.  Jacob deceives his brother, and ends up being deceived by people the rest of his life.
• Seriously, how in the world does this happen!?!?
• There are just some things you don't tell your older brothers.
• Flee temptation!
• Be patient.  God knows exactly where you are.
• Bitterness has to hit its breaking point.
• This is one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible.
• I hope I still have this kind of vision at the end of my life.
