A Few Random Thoughts From Day 1 of B90X

Genesis 1-16

• Satan's modus operandi from the very beginning has been to (1) counter truth with a lie and (2) appeal to man's fleshly desires in order to drive a wedge between God and man. Some things never change. Ex: After the serpent's conversation with Eve, the tree was "good, pleasant and desirable"
• Fears are brought on by sin (3:10)
• Finger pointing begins (3:12)
• God appoints another seed through Seth (4:26) "Then men began to call on the name of the Lord." God will always raise up those who will honor Him!
• "But Noah..." (5:8) the whole world was going to Hell in a hand basket... but Noah. Oh that it could be said of me someday... "But Tiger..." Whew!
• (11:1-9) So the people were satisfied to stay together in one place and begin to build their city to the Heavens.  Hmm?! Does this sound familiar to anyone?
• Abram's first recorded act of faithlessness (12:10-20) God had already made promises thereby assuring His care for Abram and Sarai.
• When at first it appeared that Lot got the sweetest real estate deal (13:8-18), God shows up and rocks Abram's world by granting him the land in every direction. God, in His timing, always lavishes blessings on those who obey and are found faithful. 
• At 15:6, I got a cold shiver... Genesis 15 is a pretty big deal.
