Entry 7 - GOD MADE ALL THINGS
LILACLADY-JUNEBUG2
TEXT: GENESIS CHAPTERS 1 - 2
GENESIS 1.1 IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.
DAY 1 - GOD CREATED THE LIGHT
AND GOD SAW THE LIGHT, THAT IT WAS GOOD.
Think about this now. If God really IS God .... then He has a plan and a purpose, and delights in what He does. If God is really the LORD then He can do anything He chooses. The first thing He created was the light. Jesus said
"I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD" John 8.12 He planned to come even before the world was made. Jesus said in his prayer to the Father [John 17. 3] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." Again, Jesus told the disciples [John 15.26,27] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me. And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning." In Genesis - the SUMMARY OF WHAT GOD DID is declared in Genesis 1.verse 1. IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.
Then it tells us that the Spirit of God was hovering over the depths/
Then it was that
HE SEPARATED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS AND HE CALLED THE LIGHT "DAY" AND THE DARKNESS "NIGHT"
In the Hebrew DAY is YOM while NIGHT is L'ILAH . I like to think of the fact that someone must have named THE LILACS after the Hebrew word - for in the early summer evenings the fragrance of the evening is permeated with the scent of the Lilac blooms.
Before LIGHT WAS CREATED - THE STATE OF THE EARTH WAS A MASS OF EMPTINESS AND CONFUSION.
Genesis 1.2 AND THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM AND VOID, AND DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP.
In my life, until the Light of the Lord Jesus Christ came to light up my life, I was in darkness and had no hope, and no purpose in living. When I found that Jesus had come to SHOW ME just who God was, and how much He loved me, I found His love was all I needed to light up my life.
COLOSSIANS 2.6 TELLS US, " AS YE THEREFORE HAVE
RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS THE LORD, SO WALK YE IN HIM"
2 CORINTHIANS 4.6 TELLS US " FOR GOD WHO COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, HATH SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, TO GIVE THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST."
Without light we are in darkness.
Without light we do not know the way.
Without light we can not find truth.
Without light we cannot find life.
Jesus said "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER BUT BY ME." [John 14.6].
Let Jesus become the Light
in your life, and you will
become a LIGHT
I John 2.6 He that saith he abideth in him ought also himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
AND GOD SAW THE LIGHT, THAT IT WAS GOOD.

in your life, and you will
become a LIGHT
I John 2.6 He that saith he abideth in him ought also himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Come journey with me
Walk in the Light.
Discover Hope, and Trust
in the God who created you
who loved you,
who came as a Babe in a manger
for yo
who showed in His earthly life
obedience to the Father's will,
who became our Passover Lamb
and our Kinsman Redeemer
buying us out of the market place of sin and who has now
GIVEN US RIGHT STANDING
IN THE NAME OF JESUS
BEFORE THE FATHER.
Jesus said, John 15.23 In that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, Verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Again, he said, John 17.3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent."
John 1.1 - 5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
John 1.12,13,14
As many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name; which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,] full of grace and truth.
