Reflection: Genesis

I'd like to just reflect on Genesis for a moment, and maybe do this after each completed book.

First of all, it feels good to feel like I've accomplished/completed something. Sure, Revelation 22 is a long way away, but to finish the first book of the Bible feels very rewarding. 50 Chapters down, 1300-ish to go. It hasn't always been easy, and I've certainly fallen behind on a few occasions, but I can do this, with God's help, of course.

Now onto Genesis. From the creation of man to the death of Joseph. 50 chapters of goodness. I felt pretty familiar with this book up until Abraham. There are a lot of stories about key people that I had little to no recollection of. So I found it very helpful to re-read this book and blog about it.

I didn't necessarily find the time to do too much reflecting, but for this book, I feel that it is good that I'm becoming more familiar with what happened. Getting to know the content. I feel like I gained a better understanding of how God and man related with each other early on, and how they were united through covenantal relationships.

I would certainly recommend to anyone who hasn't read Genesis to go ahead and read it. I mean after all, you've gotta know how it all started.
