For every woman
of the Word.
DS
The Bible tells a big story...
about the creation of the universe and the first human beings,
about the disobedience of those humans and the consequences they unleashed,
about a special nation and a Redeemer for the world,
about a day of restoration when all will be put right again.
But mostly the Bible tells us about a big God with a big heart...
a powerful God who spoke the universe into being out of nothing,
a loving God who would not abandon His fallen humans to themselves,
a just God who sent His Son to be the Savior of the world He loves so much,
a sovereign God whose kingdom of love and righteousness will never end.
May you be blessed as you follow this little guide to the Bibles big story and encounter Gods heart for you. And in response may you also discover a heart of love for Him!

All Scripture is God-breathed.
2 Timothy 3:16 N I V
In His Image
GENESIS 12
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.Genesis 1:27 NIV
R ight from the start, Gods written Word, the Bible, invites us to know our Creator.
The Hebrew word for God in Genesis 1:1 is Elohim , which has the sense of the highest, no one better. The first two chapters of Genesis tell us God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them, in six days, out of nothing, by His mighty power. Creation culminated with the first human beingsa man and a woman, Adam and Eve.
God formed Adam with His hands, and Adam took in his first breath directly from God. God formed Eve from Adams rib! Individually and together, male and female bear Gods image: we think and feel, plan and work, protect and nurture, imagine and create. We desire relationship. We love.
Do you sometimes feel less than, or doubt your worth? Remember that Godwho hung the stars and carved the mountainscreated you to bear His image. Wouldnt it be wonderful to know your Creator better? He wants you to know Him, and He has much to tell you about himself in His Word, right from the very beginning!
Heavenly Father, I do long to know you, my Creator, so much better. Thank you for showing me who you are in your written Word. Amen.
Thinking of You
GENESIS 3
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.Genesis 3:15 ESV
A dam and Eve walked and talked with God in Eden. Yet when Satan came on the scene in the form of a serpent, they chose to listen to him instead. Satan got them thinking God was holding out on them. Rejecting the authority of what God had said, Eve and then Adam ate the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Suddenly they knew they had made a terrible mistake. For the first time, they felt fear and shame and the need to blame someone else.
Their sin had consequences. Eve would know physical pain during childbirth and struggle in her relationship to her husband. Adam would work longer and harder to grow food in ground affected by a curse. Then... they would die, as God had warned. Sin had entered the world and all humanity would be affected.
But God also expressed compassion toward Adam and Eve. Satans scheming wouldnt be allowed to prevail forever. One of the most amazing verses in the Bible tells us that God planned from before the beginning of timeto show us his grace through Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 1:9).
Even before creation began, God knew what would happen and planned to send Jesus. He was thinking of you and me! He knew we would need a Savior.
Father God, your goodness astounds me! Thank you for planning to send our Savior, Jesus, even before you made the world. You know me so well. Thank you for your love. Amen.
Beginning Again
GENESIS 69
The L O R D regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.... But Noah found favor in the eyes of the L ORD .Genesis 6:6, 8 ESV
H umanitys evil grew and filled the earth with violence. God felt great sorrow and planned to begin again, with Noah, the one man on earth who walked closely with Him.
Can you imagine receiving Noahs instructions? To escape the flood that was coming in judgment, he was to build a box-shaped boatlonger than a football field, about half as wide, and more than four stories tall. Inside, the ark would house Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives, a zoo-sized menagerie representing all the animal kinds God had created, and food for everyone.
Crazy, right? But Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him (Genesis 6:22).
When everyone was inside the ark, God closed the door and the rain began. Noahs cooperation with Gods planhis obedience to Gods commandssaved his family and allowed humanity a fresh start.
