Genesis 2

What did I read?  Genesis 1:11-2:3

What scriptures jumped off the page?  Gen. 1:31 God saw all that he had made and it was very good. Gen. 2:2 By the 7th day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the 7th day he rested from all his work.
What did I observe from these scriptures?  When God was done, he never looked back in regret. He was completely finished and satisfied with his work.

How can I apply this to me?  When I finished the book “My Daily S.O.A.K.” I knew I had to stop and let it go to the publisher, but unlike God I knew it wasn’t perfect. Also unlike God I’ve had my regrets. I know regret is a waste of time so I need to stop. It is what it is. I can be a participant in the marketing of the book, but I can’t make people buy it. In someways it is similiar to God’s creation. He gave dominion over the earth to mankind. He continues to participate with us, but he won’t make us do what he wants. He has given us free will.

Konnecting with God: Ok God neither you or I can interfere with man’s free will and make them buy and read my book or yours (the Bible). How can I woo them? Lord help me find grace for each of the holding patterns in my life including my book. I feel like a juggler; but thank you for my constants: YOU, my family’s love and respect, my friends, my job. The truth in your word continues to amaze me! Amen.
