The Bible is the revelation of God. The Bible tells the story of creation, living human beings created in God’s image, and God’s subsequent actions and interactions. I read the Pentateuch last week and outlined new seminars on Genesis, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy.
Genesis is the beginning, God’s initial revelation. At least four things should be included when one talks of the God revealed in the Bible — the God who is personal, promising, providing, and present.
This week as you begin a New Year, use these lenses to look for God in your own life — an awareness of personal relationship and concern, providing just as he has promised, present in multiplied ways. When you are aware of one of these four dimensions of God in your life, say a brief prayer.
A delightful way to end 2023 and begin 2024!
