Memory Scripture of the Week

Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

Genesis 1:3-4 Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.

Genesis 1:5 God called the light "day" and the darkness "night." And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.

Genesis 1:6 Then God said, "Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth."

Genesis 1:7 And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens.

Genesis 1:8 God called the space "sky." And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day.

שָׁמַיִם

Day Two. Creation moves along. Evening and morning. Evening and morning.

The heavens, earth, deep waters, light, darkness, and space have all been created. That space that God created He named sky. In the Hebrew it is שָׁמַיִם shâmayim. In the King James Version that is translated as “heaven, heavens, or sky, being the visible heavens.” Sky. It isn’t anything we can really touch or really even an expanse that we can describe besides being a lofty area. Space. How do you describe that? It is an area that exists between two other entities or areas. Does it just go on forever…or is it just around what is to known as earth? Only time and “space” can tell. We must be patient with God. He isn’t finished, nor is He tired yet. There is some good stuff to happen. God knows that He has some good things that He is going to create.

Prayer ~ Lord Jesus, Thank You for coming to earth and for Your great Creation. The love of God the Father is boundless...and it shows in His Creation. It is overwhelming to be part of His plan—and see it unfolding before our eyes.

Daily Bible Reading: Genesis 38-40

Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table

In the beginning…what is the very first thing you created in the kitchen? The first thing I remember cooking all by myself was Chocolate Chip Cookies. One summer when I was seven or eight years old my Mom went off to a meeting leaving us kids with Dad to supervise us. I asked Dad if I could make cookies—and he asked if I knew how to do it. Sure. I could read the ingredients—they were printed on the bag of chocolate chips. I carefully measured out all the ingredients into a big bowl and stirred them together…and then I read the “instructions” that described the correct order of stirring together all the ingredients. Oops. It was a little lumpy—but I kept stirring….and then I lopped spoonfuls of the dough onto a cookie sheet and baked them. Yum! That was the beginning of my foodie adventure. You just can’t go wrong with chocolate chip cookies. Enjoy with a tall glass of cool milk. These can even be relished with the King of Kings—especially at a Banquet with the King.
