Genesis 1-2 Blessings on New Year's Day

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

"The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the SPIRIT of GOD was hovering over the face of the waters."

God spoke WORDS, ‘Let there be light;’ and there was light.”

The Spirit of God and the Word of God give light.

“God said, ‘Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear;’ and it was so.”

When God shows up, chaos is replaced with order.

“God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself on the earth;’ and it was so.”

When God is at work, there is fruit.

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”

God is our Creator. Our very life breath is from Him.

“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place. Then, the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.”

God is the original matchmaker. He is the original originator of love and friendship.

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation.

Genesis 1:1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 2:7, 21-22
