The Journey Continues

The Book of Genesis is so rich and full of history. I want to do a review of our readings so far and what the theme of each day seems to be. 
Jan 1 - Creation and we were al created in God's image.  The Trinity (God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) is revealed - "Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us"  That was in Genesis 1:26
Ancestory of Jesus in Matthew - another new beginning
Jan 2 - Satan the serpent in the Garden of Eden.  Sin enters.  In Matthew John the Baptist began preaching repentance
Jan 3 - Adam's decendants.  Noah was the only blameless person living on earth  Gen. 6:9
Satan tries to tempt Jesus in Matt. 4:4
Jan 4 - The Flood.  God's covenant with man to never destroy with water and remember the rainbow as a sign of the covenant!   Jesus began preaching repentance in Matt. 4:17
Jan 5 - Babel.  God confused the people and scattered them all over the earth.  That's why there are so many different languages in the world. 
Jan 6 - God's covenant with Abram, the Hebrew
Jan 7 - Abram and Hagar and the birth of Ishmael
Jan 8 - Sodom and Gomorrah - destroyed because of the wickedness and sin in the city
Jan 9 - Isaac is born to Sarah.  Abraham is 100 years old.
Jan 10 - Sarah dies at age 127.  Matt. 8:17  "he took our sicknesses and removed our diseases" (Jesus)
Jan 11 - Abraham marries again and dies at age 175
Jan 12 - God's covenant with Isaac
Jan 13 - Jacob's dream of the stairway.  Rachel and Leah
Jan 14 - God tells Jacob to return to the land of your father
Jan 15 - Laban goes after Jacob
Jan 16 - Jacob and Esau as Jacob returns to Canaan
Jan 17 - God renames Jacob Israel

So much wealth of knowledge in 17 days reading.  We see sin entering on our 2nd day of reading.  God had barely finished creation!  Thank you for your grace LORD on and for your peculiar people.  That's us!
