Read Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Reflect Have you experienced the benefits of having a mentor

Day 1     READ   Genesis 1:1-2   1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.     Verse 1 says what God did. No human witness was there. All those who describe it otherwise only prove they were not a witness. True science has to do with what is observable, testable and repeatable. That cannot be done with creation. Some want

Day 1     READ   Genesis 1:14-16   14 Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years. 15 Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened. 16 God made two great lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars.     God made lights to separate the days and nights. They were to be signs of the “seasons, d

Day 1     READ   Genesis 1:26   26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”     God now came to the capstone of all His creative works: creating humans in His image. They were to have dominion over all he had already created. The animals were not created in His image, but the human b

Day 1     READ   Genesis 2:1-2   1 So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. 2 On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work.     Notice that the work of creation included “everything” in the heavens and the earth. Nothing else needed to be added. It was “completed.” God did not rest because He was tired. The word simply means that He ceased from His work.     REFLECT   Ponder what it means th

Day 1     READ   Genesis 2:10-12   10 A river flowed from the land of Eden, watering the garden and then dividing into four branches. 11 The first branch, called the Pishon, flowed around the entire land of Havilah, where gold is found. 12 The gold of that land is exceptionally pure; aromatic resin and onyx stone are also found there.     The river flowing from the land of Eden divided into four branches. This is the only mention of Pishon in the Bible. Although these four br
