*Decided to try out a Bible Reading plan. I'm doing the 61-day reading plan that covers key stories in the Bible from the Old to the New Testament. It's not a comprehensive study, but I thought it'd be good to brush up on some basic Bible stories!
NOTES: GENESIS 1-THE BEGINNING
Day 1) God said, "let there be light"; created night and day
Day 2) Created the sky that separated water from water
Day 3) Made dry ground and called it land; produced fruit and trees and vegetation
Day 4) Sun and moon; made greater light for the day and lesser light for night
Day 5) Created creatures of the sea and winged creatures of the sky
Day 6) Made all the creatures according to its likeness so that they would multiply and be fruitful
Day 7) Rest
GENESIS 2-ADAM & EVE
-"Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being" (2:7)
-God put Adam in the Garden to take care of it, but he had no suitable partner
-Took one of his ribs during a deep sleep, and formed woman; that is why when the woman leaves her father and marries a man, they become one flesh
-Gave them free reign of the garden, except to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil
GENESIS 3-THE FALL
-The serpent tempts Eve by questioning God's commands and telling her that she will gain wisdom by eating the fruit
-Eve took the fruit and ate it, then gave some to her husband. After eating the fruit, they saw that they were naked, and were ashamed. They hid from the Lord.
-As punishment, the serpent is forced to crawl on his belly and there is emnity between serpent and woman
-To Eve, she will experience severe childbearing pains, and her desire will be for her husband
-To Adam, he will toil for food all the days of his life
-God then clothed them and banished them from the Garden of Eden, where they will labor for the rest of their lives
Also, this passage reminded me of Phil Wickham's song, "Eden":
ACT OF LOVE: Was talking to my friend today and she told me how she was kind of bummed that no one asked her to sponsor for 30 Hour Famine, which is tomorrow. Even though I won't be participating this year because of a theatre festival, I asked her for a donation on behalf of HSF! haha. Also, decided to become a sponsor for my friends who will be doing the 30 hour fast tomorrow!
