DAILY READINGS: 2 Chron. 12-13; Ezekiel 35-36:15; John 13:31-14:14
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Gen. 1:1
The origin of the Bible commences with the marvel and miracle of God creating the world. The first chapter sets forth three beginnings—first matter, then life, and finally personality (Gen. 1:1, 21, 27). How wise of God in Creation to show us a photograph of natural man. “The earth was without form, void and in darkness.” So it is with you and me when we were without Christ—no fulfilled purpose, no life, no light. How true of the unregenerate! Are you a new creation? Whether performing a physical creation or spiritual, how majestic is our Great Creator! —Les Rainey
Firstfruits of Thy new creation, faithful, holy may we be,
Joyful in Thy full salvation, more and more conformed to Thee. —Charles Wesley
