Today we’re back to Genesis 9. Genesis Chapter 9 is an interesting chapter because it covers the beautiful and striking symmetry to the first chapters of Genesis, full of blessing and instruction. Yet, it the last third of the chapter, after everything God has done, we see human nature at its worst starting to comeContinue reading “The tale of three brothers…”

A long time…
A musing on Gen 7 & 8, comparing his stay on the ark to our COVID-19 lockdown. I never realised how long Noah spent in the ark with his family and the animals. I always knew it was 40 days and 40 nights, which doesn’t sound so bad. (Until you’re stuck in lockdown for thatContinue reading “A long time…”
Only One
A musing on how far God will go for one person from Gen 6. It is amazing how far God is willing to go for the sake of protecting one righteous person! Even though we from later in the Bible, “all have sinned…”, God was willing to God to extraordinary lengths to save Noah becauseContinue reading “Only One”
Genealogy Musings
A few thoughts on Genesis Chapter 5 1) Adam returned to God and lived out the rest of his days for God offering sacrifices. There are two reasons from this chapter I think this is true: 1) how could Cain and Able know to offer sacrifices if they did not have an example? Someone hadContinue reading “Genealogy Musings”
Gen 4 – The Heart Matters
Genesis 4:1-16 ~ My musings on the story of Cain and Able. It is so easy to go through the motions when it comes to life and God. How easy and how often do we do things out of obligation and spite? We pretend everything is good on the surface, but inside we are aContinue reading “Gen 4 – The Heart Matters”
Gen 3 – Part 2
The beginning of the redemption story ♡ Thankfully the story didn’t end with our sin! If it did, God might as well wiped out the whole earth and all of humanity right then and there! We had lost our open fellowship with God and had earned death by our disobedience. But, instead of them destitute,Continue reading “Gen 3 – Part 2”
Genesis 3: Part 1 – The Fall
Chapter 3: The part of the story where we show how foolish and fallible we are and God shows just how full of love, mercy and compassion He is and that He always has a plan. I’ve always hated this chapter, its the one I always try to avoid and skirt around. I’d rather notContinue reading “Genesis 3: Part 1 – The Fall”
Musings on Gen 2
Genesis 2 – part 2 in my reading of Genesis (surprise surprise 😂) While many sermons and books could be written on any one of the many valuable and instructive themes, situations and topics presented in this chapter, I found it was helpful to list out some of the points I thought God was makingContinue reading “Musings on Gen 2”
A God of Order
Genesis 1 Part one of my musings from Genesis. Isn’t it amazing we serve a God of order!? Unlike many of its contemporaries, the Hebrew creation story stands in vast contrast; a God of order compared to creation through chaos. The surrounding nations of the time tended to have the similar concept, waring deities resultingContinue reading “A God of Order”
Be at peace
Here is one of my favourite bible verses, Philippians 4:6-9. One thing I love about these verses is how it offers comfort by pointing us back to God. I hope you find encouragement in these verses like I do in such challenging times. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, withContinue reading “Be at peace”
