I ponder the beginning of all things. it would be wondrous to behold the creation of all things. The comprehension of the creation of the heavens and the earth. the creation of the stars and the universe. So amazing the complexity of all things working together for the good of God. absolutely amazing. He made us in His image. WoW!
Genesis 1:26-27 - 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
I could go on and on about the possibilities of the creation of all things and he did this in a day and that in a day, I mean wow! Yea, Wow! So I move on I ask where Cain was to know that he was to give God of his first fruits? Yea, I now know thats what Christ Jesus has directed as well and numerous other before. but nothing was mentioned before in the Word. Yea, sure I grasp why but are we just under the impression that Cain was just to know since His dad and mom knew? Just spinning questions here, that's all. I ask that the Lord lead me into His understanding of the Word and not my own, I know I'm capable of messing it all up. Thank you Father that by your grace I am able to be set free and have been. I feel for Cain because of the not knowing that we can see in the Word.
Genesis 4:1-5 - 1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore [a]Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother [b]Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And [c]in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
Now I see the rebuke of the Lord with the anger Cain showed because of his sin through or with his anger. I know that we can be anger but not sin, which I know to be very hard as one who lives in this fleshly world. I know I'm not capable without the Lord's guidance upon my life, and the grace He has bestowed upon me.
God created before He created us, I would gather. otherwise how would he have other children that are spoken of in the Word.
Genesis 6:1-4 - 1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive[a] with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were [b]giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
I wonder how did this happen without the God putting a stop to it sooner. Why would God allow His children of old to mate with these children of men? I believe God loves us all and we are all His children, but we are the first to be made in His image, So! Humh?
This is something I draw more questions on. I look to the Lord for all my understanding and not that of the world, because the world is so broken. God himself even condemned the world until he found Noah to be a man of Him. He found Noah praising and worshiping Him.
Genesis 6:5-8 - 5 Then [c]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent[d] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil [e]continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
I know this is all a ramble but that's the way this mind works. I ramble through this all and the Lord will set me straight in the ways he irons me out. I so love the fact of pondering these question. I know that the Lord is using this time and approach to help me grow into the Man of God He desires me to be.
Before I part I ponder another question! Did Eve and Adam love one another as we do today? I understand God's love as a rule but not in its complexity. God loves beyond our comprehension. God's love is void of emotion. God's love I believe is full of emotion! I mostly see God's love void of emotion to help me grasp that it's a choice, yea a choice. No turning back no changing your mind. A simple choice. God chooses to love us. So, where do Adam and Eve set here? How long did they walk the earth with God before they fell? Why didn't they have children before they fell? What took so long? He told them to go forth and multiply. Did they have a love for one another? Since they were as God in their formation was their love as God's love simply a choice? I think not because the first time differences arose Adam turned on Eve. He blamed God for Eve's sin and causing him to sin. Even after the fall they still remained together. No divorce here! When did the emotions fall into this relationship? Was it gradual or immediate? Just asking here. Wanting to get a clearer understanding.
Yea, I could go on and on Father but I ask that in your time and your ways that I might come to an understanding and a comprehension of all you desire me to have. I know all things are not for me to know in my time but in the time you have laid them out for me. Thank you Father for you Love and for your wisdom to know me and to and what I need and when. I thank you for your Son Jesus Christ and for the ever leading Holy Spirit that lives in me. Father I thank you for Adam and Eve they are my ancestors and I know you have a lot to teach me through their lives. Father I ask that you continue to help me Grow to be the Man of God you desire me to be. I ask only that you continually help me to grow in you, in the ever loving beautiful wonderous amazing humble name of Christ Jesus, Amen!
