Afternoon Bible Verse

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Afternoon Bible study

Our world has drastically changed over the past 20 years. The Internet, cell phones, video chats, and electric cars are common as technology is becoming more advanced every day.

While genius minds continue to improve how we live and work, we must remember that even our ideas are not our own. They were placed in us when we were created in the image of God.

God is the ultimate Creator.

In Genesis 1:1, the word created means "brought into existence." Our human minds can't comprehend that before God created the heaven and earth, nothing existed.

God didn't create the universe out of something—He created everything out of nothing. Throughout creation, we see God's nature.

He is powerful … God only needed to speak to bring the world into existence. He is a God of order. He didn't just create the world and walk away. He has remained involved in every aspect, including our lives.

In the Bible, we read about people who had little to nothing to offer God, but they surrendered their lives to Him, and He used them in incredible ways.

We were created in the image of God, and only God has the ability to change and mold us into His image. That process begins when we give everything back to the One who created us in the first place.

Afternoon Prayer

God, I praise you as the Creator of everything. Thank you for giving me life and a free will to live however I desire. God, I choose to live my life for you. I surrender my heart to you and ask that you would mold me into your image.Thank you for allowing me to live in this beautiful world you created. In Jesus' name, amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Verse

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.:

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible study

If you turn on a light in your home, are you confident it will come on? You know it's plugged into the wall and is powered by electricity, but you can't see electricity—still, you know it's there and believe your lights will come on at the flip of a switch.

That's an example of faith—believing in something you can't actually see.

Faith is not something we can see, nor is it something we can touch. We can't physically measure or follow it. But according to Scripture, faith is the only thing that can please God. And when we believe that God has the power and ability to do what His Word says He will do, faith is the vehicle for our assurance that He will.

When we take our faith and place it in God and His assurances, God takes that faith and increases it each and every time we trust in Him. Jesus said that our faith could even move mountains.

If a room lights up at the flick of an electrical switch, imagine how our whole world will shimmer and glisten with light once we turn on our faith in the Lord.

Electrical light, as great as it is, couldn't possibly compare.

Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer

Heavenly Father, I struggle with faith sometimes. But just as I cannot see faith when it is working, help me to trust in you when I can't see you—even though you are always working on my behalf. In Jesus' name, amen.
