In reading through Genesis over the last few days I am struck by the depth to which I have looked over so many of the Bible’s finer points. If you think you know the stories in Genesis, you don’t. Scripture gets boiled down in my mind like my favorite parts of a movie. I remember what my life brought me to appreciate at the time that I read Genesis last, and much of my interpretation is guided or manipulated by what it is I want the scriptures to be saying. Has anyone ever discerned fully who the Nephilim were?
It has been stormy here for the past few days now, a good time to crack open and reread the pages of the man Noah; the first human that God made a covenant with. It is good to be reminded that God intends for human kind to flourish in spite of its nature; that it is His purpose for us is to enjoy the earth and to thrive here. He did not create the earth for us, nor did He create us for the earth. It really is a very unique perspective on both the world and humanity. This world is humankind’s dancing partner with God playing the instruments that guide our feet.
I love you, dear reader, truly. We may never have met, but I know that God loves you and that I am called to be like Him. May your every step be blessed.
