When you open a bible to read, you are giving yourself a chance to be with a God who loves you. He is the one true God. The God who created you and me. The God who give you unmeasurable peace that you can ask for, and the God who can fill up the empty space in your life.

May God bless you and be with you.

Genesis 1:1-5 

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. ³ And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ⁴ God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. ⁵ God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.   - Our God is the creator of everything. Do not worry. Life up your life to Him; the Almighty one. Let Him lead you and guide you through your problems and worries in life.

Genesis 2:7  

⁷ Then the LORD God formed a man^[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.   - This is the way God created a man.

Genesis 2:18 and 2:21-22 

¹⁸ The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” ²¹ So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs^[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. ²² Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib^[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.   - This is the way God created a woman.

Genesis 2:23-24

 ²³ The man said,“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” ²⁴ That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.   - From a man, a woman was created. This is the history of marriage; a man and a woman.

Genesis 7:1  

¹ The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.   - God loves the faithful and the obedience. Because Noah was righteous, blameless, and he walked with God, God kept him and his family before the flood came.

Genesis 9:3

³ Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.   - God is a loving God. He provides for us. Give thanks to God for the food we have.

Genesis 9:12-17 

¹² And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: ¹³ I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. ¹⁴ Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, ¹⁵ I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. ¹⁶ Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” ¹⁷ So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”   - If you see the rainbow, remember it is a convenant God has with us.

Genesis 14:18-20

¹⁸ Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, ¹⁹ and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. ²⁰ And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.   - A tenth of everything to God is because of His work, His blessing and continuation of His church.

Genesis 18:10-15

¹⁰ Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. ¹¹ Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. ¹² So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?” ¹³ Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ ¹⁴ Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” ¹⁵ Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”    - Our God is the creator of heaven and earth, and we are His creation. He knows our thoughts and our feelings in any situations than any one else, because we are created by Him and He loves us more than any one we can mention on earth.

Genesis 19:15-16

¹⁵ With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” ¹⁶ When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them.   - Our Lord is merciful to the righteous. You may question where is God when there is a disaster; but His ways and thoughts are greater than ours, beyond our comprenhension. The innocent may had left us, but we must believe they had joined Jesus in heaven.

Genesis 21:1-2, 21:6-7

¹ Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. ² Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him.

 ⁶ Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” ⁷ And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”   - When Sarah gave birth to Isaac, Sarah had past the age of childbearing. Everything is possible to God, you just have to believe. Trust in Him and let Him guide you.

Genesis 21:15-18

¹⁵ When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. ¹⁶ Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she^[c] began to sob. ¹⁷ God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. ¹⁸ Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”   - Pray to God. Talk to Him. He hears your prayers.

Genesis 22:1-2, 22:9-14

¹ Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. ² Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

⁹ When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. ¹⁰ Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.¹¹ But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. ¹² “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” ¹³ Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram^[a] caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. ¹⁴ So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”   - Abraham followed God's instruction to sacrifce Isaac as a burnt offering. Not because he did not love Isaac at all, but because he knew who he was following, the almighty God who demands our complete obedience. Hence, Abraham obeyed and trusted God completely, and followed God's instruction without question.

Genesis 24:42-48

⁴² “When I came to the spring today, I said, ‘LORD, God of my master Abraham, if you will, please grant success to the journey on which I have come. ⁴³ See, I am standing beside this spring. If a young woman comes out to draw water and I say to her, “Please let me drink a little water from your jar,” ⁴⁴ and if she says to me, “Drink, and I’ll draw water for your camels too,” let her be the one the LORD has chosen for my master’s son.’ ⁴⁵ “Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebekah came out, with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water, and I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’ ⁴⁶ “She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too.’ So I drank, and she watered the camels also. ⁴⁷ “I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ “She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milkah bore to him.’ “Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms, ⁴⁸ and I bowed down and worshiped the LORD. I praised the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.   - When you accept God and trust God wholeheartedly, and when you walk with Him closely, you will be blessed. Do you have any specific prayer? Lift it up to God and pray for it.

Genesis 25:22-26, 25:31-34, 27:27-30, 27:37

Genesis 25:22-26

²² The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.

²³ The Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.” ²⁴ When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. ²⁵ The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau.^{[d] 26} After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob.^[e] Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.

Genesis 25:31-34

³¹ Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.” ³² “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?” ³³ But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob. ³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.

Genesis 27:27-30

²⁷ So he went to him and kissed him. When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said,

Genesis 27:37

³⁷ Isaac answered Esau, “I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. So what can I possibly do for you, my son?”

- Before you were born, God had written your story. It does not mean you have no free will and you do not have to do anything at all, but you must believe that everything is still under His control. You need to trust and have faith in Him, because He will do what is good and right in our lives. So let Him be in the center of your life. He will bring you to your destination He had planned for you before you were borned.

Genesis 31:2-3

2 And Jacob noticed that Laban's attitude toward him was not what it had been. 3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, "Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you."   - The Lord will lead and guide you to the right place; so pray to the Lord for His leading and guidance in your life.

Genesis 32:6-12

⁶When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.” ⁷ In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups,^[c] and the flocks and herds and camels as well. ⁸ He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one group,^[d] the group^[e] that is left may escape.” ⁹ Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, Lord, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,’ ¹⁰ I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps. ¹¹ Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, and also the mothers with their children. ¹² But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’”   - Jacob, the younger brother of Esau, bought his brother's birthright and stole his blessings from their father Isaac. Do what is good and right, and never bring harm to others, and you will not live in fear.  

Genesis 37:5-7, 42:6

⁵ Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. ⁶ He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: ⁷ We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.”

⁶ Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the person who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.   - The brothers hated Joseph after they were told of the dream Joseph had dreamt of, so they planned to kill him. They did not kill Joseph afterall but sold him to Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Eventually, Joseph became successful and was appointed by Pharaoh. The dream that Joseph had come true as mention in Genesis 42:6, the brothers bowed down before him. Do you believe in dream? Because the Lord speaks to you in many ways and He may speak to you through dream. Acts 2:17 - In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Genesis 39:2-4, 39:20-22

² The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. ³ When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, ⁴ Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.

²⁰ Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, ²¹ the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. ²² So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there.   - If the Lord is with you, wherever you go, He will be with you. Pray for the Lord to be with you. It will be the best thing that ever happen to you, because He will lead you to the right path.

Genesis 39:6-9

⁶ So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, ⁷ and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” ⁸ But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. ⁹ No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”   - Joseph did the right thing of honoring his master. He is a man who honor God and his master. He is the type of man you will want to be with; to befriend or marry to.

Genesis 50:18-21

¹⁸ His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said. ¹⁹ But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? ²⁰ You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. ²¹ So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.   - God had His plans for Joseph. Joseph's brothers sold him to Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Eventually, Joseph became successful and was appointed by Pharaoh, the Egyptian King, to in charge of Egypt. Joseph saved the whole nation and many people to live out of famine. Knowing these were God's plans for him, and believing he was contented to be alive and saved many people, Joseph had long forgotten what his brothers did to him when he first met them in Egypt. After Jacob had passed away and his brothers were worried how they would be treated, Joseph reassured his brothers that they would be taken care of. Dear Readers, walk closely with God. And when you had walked out to the light, don't forget the people in darkness.

Genesis 50:24-25

²⁴ Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” ²⁵ And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”   - Before Joseph died and left his brothers in Egypt, he assured his brothers that one day God would bring them out of Egypt to the promised land. Dear Readers, have faith in God and be steadfast like Joseph. Be brave and courageous in your faith. Read and believe God's messages to you in the bible because He is God. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
