What We Have Learned from Genesis | Genesis 1:1, 26-31
Genesis 1:1, 26-31 + God is our Wise and Good Creator “A commonsense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature.” — Astronomer Fred Hoyle Psalm 104:24 NIV Psalm 111:2 NIV "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." — Augustine, Confessions The Pulley When God at first made man, Having a glass of blessings standing by, “Let us,” said he, “pour on him all we can. Let the world’s riches, which dispersèd lie, Contract into a span.” So strength first made a way; Then beauty flowed, then wisdom, honour, pleasure. When almost all was out, God made a stay, Perceiving that, alone of all his treasure, Rest in the bottom lay. “For if I should,” said he, “Bestow this jewel also on my creature, He would adore my gifts instead of me, And rest in Nature, not the God of Nature; So both should losers be. “Yet let him keep the rest, But keep them with repining restlessness; Let him be rich and weary, that at least, If goodness lead him not, yet weariness May toss him to my breast.” — George Herbert + God is our Righteous Judge Genesis 18:25 NIV + God is our Gracious Savior Genesis 3:15 + God is our Sovereign Ruler Genesis 50:20
