Week 1
Genesis 1-3 | Creation and the Fall of Man
What God is saying in this passage:
In 2:7, God tells me man was formed from the dust of the ground. Man typically thinks of himself as the zenith-the height of an evolutionary process. But there is nothing very sophisticated about dust. We normally sweep it away. What makes this dust significant is that God breathed into the man's nostrils the breath of life. Danny, remember that apart from My Spirit in you, you are nothing but dust.
How I plan to prayerfully obey what God says:
Because real life is dependent upon the Spirit of God in me, I purpose to consciously depend on the power of the Spirit to live obediently and purposely. My life is a fragile, temporary, product of dust completely dependent upon God.
