There's Power In His Word

Genesis 1-3

The mighty power in the Word of God is evident in chapter 1. I love the visual from The Message:

• God spoke: “Light!” - And light appeared.
• God spoke: “Sky! In the middle of the waters; separate water from water!” - God made sky.
• God spoke: “Separate! Water-beneath-Heaven, gather into one place; Land, appear!” - And there it was.
• God spoke: “Earth, green up!” - And there it was.
• God spoke: “Lights! Come out!” - And there it was.
• God spoke: “Swarm, Ocean, with fish and all sea life! Birds, fly through the sky over Earth!” - God saw that it was good.
• God spoke: “Earth, generate life!” - And there it was
• God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image,” - God created human beings.
• Then God said, “I’ve given you every sort of seed-bearing plant on Earth.” - And there it was.

Does it not seem beyond reason to question the power of His word? He spoke...it happened. Why is it so easy to then question not only His Word, but the power behind His Word. Eve was deceived into believing that God's word was fallible/not trustworthy. 

How did He go from being the expert in all things to being 'corrected' by Satan? For one thing, Eve noticed only the fruit's looks (saw it was good for food). I do the same thing...I see what's 'happening' around me and often find myself looking to myself to try to "fix" things.

Before God set everything to order...it was chaos. Yet when He spoke order into the world, the sky, land, and waters came into being.

Dear Father, As I progress today and this week, I ask that Your Word set right what is chaos in my life. Help me to follow You as You speak into my life. It may be done one item at a time like in Your creation. Help me to follow Your Words and not be deceived. Your Word holds as much truth and power today as it did in the beginning. Amen
