Memory Scripture of the Week –
Genesis 1:20
Then God said, "Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let
the skies be filled with birds of every kind."
Genesis 1:21
So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries
and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird--each producing offspring of
the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:22-23
Then God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply. Let the
fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth." And evening
passed and morning came, marking the fifth day.
Genesis 1:24 Then
God said, "Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing
offspring of the same kind--livestock, small animals that scurry along the
ground, and wild animals." And that is what happened.
Genesis 1:25 God
made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to
produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:26 Then
God said, "Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will
reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the
wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the
ground."
Genesis 1:27 So
God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
Human beings.
Best creatures on earth! God reached the ultimate in creation…we are so
complex…and so intricately designed. We are amazing creatures. God is an
amazing creator. And after this He was done and He declared all that He had
created as very good.
Then God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful
and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the
birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground." Then
God said, "Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the
earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant
as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals
that scurry along the ground--everything that has life." And that is what happened.
Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And
evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. So the creation of the
heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day
God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. And God
blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he
rested from all his work of creation. Genesis 1:28-31- Genesis 2:3
If we are
created by God…in His image, then we should be like Him, but we have free will
and don’t always choose to be like Him. Paul taught the people at the church at
Ephesus to get back on track and be like Jesus.
Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned
the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former
way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit
renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like
God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:21-24
Prayer ~ Lord Jesus...help me to renew
my mind, my thoughts and attitudes that I would live in a way that pleases You.
My attitude drives me into darkness and gloom. Renew my thoughts and attitudes
that I would be like You originally created me—full of light and life from You.
Holy. May I be holy unto You, Lord.
