“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and; and man became a living being.” In the prior devotion, we emphasized how we must be shaped into the image that God has ordained us to be. But in this same verse, we […]
Genesis 2:7 “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.” The Hebrew word that is used as “formed” actually means “to squeeze, shape or mold.” It conveys the notion that, as the Master Potter, God took […]
Genesis 2:4-5 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused […]
