All I Really Need to Know

ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN “Genesis”

I’ve been studying Genesis a lot lately and I continue to be amazed at what I find there.  I have studied it many times before, but God always finds a way to help me experience it in a new way.  I’m starting to get the feeling like this could be a book that sets you up for life.  Kind of like that old saying, “All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten.”  Yes, I feel it is very important to know the whole Bible and allow all of it to impact your daily life with the Lord.  Please don’t misunderstand me.

I simply want to draw some truths from Genesis to show you how exciting God’s Word can be.  It is vibrant, living, and active in our daily lives, if we allow it to be.  Sometimes we tend to make God’s Word complicated and forget to draw the meaning from it for our lives.  God wants us to seek His Truth, so we can be renewed daily in Him.

“the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”  (Genesis 2:7)

God Knows My Name

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so far is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:11-12)

I have had a wonderful opportunity to step up as a teacher over a 4th grade class room at my church.  I have to say that I have the greatest group of 4th graders you will ever meet.  Their hearts are tender, their ready to learn, they are kind, and they love Jesus.  I have enjoyed being their teacher so much!   Just two weeks ago, God showed me something very valuable during my time with them.  In fact, it had only been my third time teaching the class.  The first two times I taught, I had everyone go around and introduce themselves.  I was really trying hard to make sure I remembered each name, as different children showed up both times.

Well, this last time that I taught… the kids saw it was me and said “Your not going to make us go around and say our names again, are you?”  I said no, I think I got it down now.  So they proceeded to cover their name tags and quiz me.  Each one calling out, “Do you know my name?”  Fortunately, the Holy Spirit brought each name back to my memory.  Oh how each child lit up as I told them what their name was.  It was as if they were saying, “She knows me, I’m someone special, she knows my name.”  It was a beautiful moment to be a part of.

 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. (Revelation 22:13

I pray that 2014 will be a year you find out who Jesus is for you.  For those of you who know the Lord, I pray you will gain a fresh perspective of God’s Word.  I pray that you will see how much God loves you and the mercy He so readily pours out on your life.  I pray that you will be renewed and strengthened for every step ahead.  I pray that you will find joy in every circumstance this year and that you will find reason to celebrate who God is every day.  I pray that you will come alive in a new way and with a new awareness of God’s rich blessings on your life.

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. (John 3:16, AMP)

Place Your Life Before God

Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. (Romans 12:1, AMP)

This last week, I spent a lot of time in Romans 12.  This passage of Scripture has really been challenging me lately.  I would love to walk through it verse by verse with you and find out what God has for us through it.  Please take time to read Romans 12 every day and let’s be challenged by God’s Word together.

I’m not sure how long this series will last.  I’ll just do my best to break down this chapter with you and learn as much as possible through it.  Come with me on a journey to discover all that God has for us in Romans 12.
