What does it say?
In six days God created the heavens, the world, and everything in it. He created man and woman in His own image, giving them the earth to fill and rule.
What does it mean?
God is so powerful that He spoke the world into existence from complete emptiness. On the sixth day, He created man and woman in His own image, making fellowship with Him and worship of Him possible. He placed them in a garden that offered everything they would ever need. Additionally, God gave them authority over His earthly creation. Along with this authority came the responsibility to take care of all that He had provided. When God looked at the man and woman, surrounded by everything He had created, He said it was, “very good.”
How should I respond?
What parts of creation have you taken time to appreciate this week: a sunrise, a mountain view, or the taste of a favorite food? God intentionally designed the world for your enjoyment and provision. From the beginning, God loved you immeasurably. You are His masterpiece, designed to have a relationship with your Creator. How does viewing yourself and others in the image of God encourage you to share His love with them? Slow down today, and thank God for how He designed you and the world around you. This week, how can you be a better steward of everything He has provided?

As its name implies, Genesis is a book of beginnings. The beginning of the world, the beginning of the line of Abraham, and the beginning of God's covenantal relationship with his people are all recorded in Genesis. Although filled with the sin, rebellion, and the chronic unfaithfulness of His people, God consistently demonstrates his covenantal faithfulness to bring about salvation and redemption for all who have faith in Him.
