Scripture is God breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry His Word with us wherever we go.
This week we will memorize the key verse for the book of Genesis, a declaration of God’s satisfaction with all of His creation.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed.
—Genesis 1:31a

Isaiah 43:1. But now this is what the Lord says, he who created you, Jacob. He who formed you Israel. Do not fears for I have redeemed you; I have summoned your name; You are mine. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow. Praise all creatures here below. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. As my mother always said: What would we do without the Lord. ✝️❤️
. Amen
Amen thank you God for your creation

I love this! I have been fasting since Jan. 6th and began my reading through the bible plan on the 1st, and I have absolutely seen a change in my demeanor, my attitude, my perceptions of other around me and I think it’s so beautiful that I am truly being changed from the inside out become the young woman that God is calling me to be, BECAUSE of the way I am investing my time into seeking his word. ALSO – thank you all for such a warm welcome! Excited to learn from everyone’s wisdom ☺️
That is so exciting for you! Keep sharing! ❤
Yes, Amen, isn’t it amazing when we plug in HOW God transforms us, in the little and the big!! Transformation!
Love that your here with us Gabriella
“WE” are part of, “it was good” Even when we’ve messed up, “I” for one can testify to THAT! Yet we continued to be loved by our JESUS! As I read most of the comments I know we are grieved by our “own” sinful nature, BUT I am so glad we have one another to keep us accountable, encouraging us to “ask” for forgiveness and move forward. I am SO grateful to be part of this BEAUTIFUL group of She’s opening up our bibles daily “together”. Doing life “together”. I am EXTRA blessed as TODAY 19 years ago at 6:40 AM, I was blessed with a tiny little blessing of JOY at 6 lbs 4 oz. My Alyssa! God knew she was going to bring me great joy (and sometimes heartache haha) as she is now my friend, yet I am still mom.
Love this!
29 yrs ago today, my youngest daughter was born…wow! How do my children keep getting so old? ❤️
Love this GramsieSue !! Happy birthday to your Daughter as well.
Happy birthday to Alyssa and GrammieSue’s daughter! ❤
AW—Yay, Happy Birthday Alissa AND your daughter Sue!! Oh how they bless US on their Birthdays! I always tell my son it is MY day because I had him and was so blessed!! He mumbles..I know…you tell me every year! He doesn’t find me endearing and funny as I find myself!!
I find this endearing FUNNY!!!
Hahaha!!!!
I just can’t help but think what great joy and righteous fulfillment God must have experinced and then how deeply His heart must grieve now. But, also despite all that is forsaken and lost, He still calls us good and we are His. What a great love. Thank you Father.❤️
You came to me today Wendy as we took communion and know that WE ARE HEALED by His body!! Hallelujah! We have that promise!
Rhonda, thank you so, so much. What a great encouragement. Yes, Lord, let it be so❤️
✝️❤
It is amazing to me that God calls us good. That statement truly shows what love really is.
And it was good! God can only make good things. God works all things for our good. And He is a good Father, the Good Shepherd!
Praying for all! Thank you for your insights and for praying for me. Still battling the flu, but I slept better last night!
Thankful you got good sleep last night- so important to recovery! ❤
From a Warren Wiersbe Bible study:
“it’s worth noting that we can’t honor the God of creation if we dishonor His creation. We must accept creation as a gift, guard it as a precious treasure, and invest it for the glory of God. Isaac Watts said it beautifully in his hymn “I Sing the Mighty Power of God”:
I sing the goodness of the Lord,
that filled the earth with food;
He formed the creatures with His word,
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed,
where e’er I turn my eye;
If I survey the ground I tread,
or gaze upon the sky.
“The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works” (Ps. 145:9).
.
I will have to look up that hymn since I am not familiar with it!
Have a worship-full Sunday, sisters!❤
Thank you for the reminder of this hymn! It was a Sunday staple in the little church I grew up in, but I haven’t even thought of it for years. It’s a good ‘un! ❤️
Oh, I am so glad you know it! The tune sounded familiar to me, but not the lyrics, so I guess I have sung it at some point! ❤
❤️
We sang some good songs that made me think of our study and the creation this morning..
Great Is Thy Faithfulness and
King of My Heart!
❤
I remember singing it as a little girl at church! I am now thankful for all the old hymns we slogged through, for lack of a better word! At the time we didn’t have any instrumental accompaniment and some of the songs were tricky to sing! But the words are beautiful and when you post your songs, most of them I know, for which I am happy!! God often speaks to me through music!❤️thanks for your suggestions, Cee Gee!
haha…slogged through is the perfect descriptive of our church singing! We had piano and organ, but they were sooo slow! But I DO LOVE all the hymns! My mom used to get me the cd’s they had a Dollar General for me b/c she knew I loved them. Now I have a Hymn’s Playlist on youtube!
Thanks for sharing that, DeeDee! That brightens my day! ❤
Thank you, Cee Gee. I love your posts.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for your encouragement! ❤
In spite of it all, God love is the same yesterday, today, and forever more.
Reminds me of “Same God” one of my favs!
CHERYL BLOW – praying the coughing has subsided and you were able to get some good sleep last night
–
CEE GEE – ❤️’d your thoughts yesterday
–
SALLY B – the prompting you had to bring us back to Day 2, thank you! Being with God touched so many of us.
–
ERB – you are missed!
❤
God is good – all the time. Everything He does, everything He makes is good. Man messes everything up. He is sinful, there is nothing good in him. God sends His son, Jesus. Jesus took our sin to the cross. He bled and died and rose again. He had victory over sin. Man is rescued, redeemed, sin is covered by the blood. Everything is good again.

Happy Sunday She’s. ❤️
Amen and Amen, sweet sister! ❤️
Love this recap of the whole Bible ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤ Hope today was a good day at church!
Can you imagine God seeing all he created and that it was good and how we treat it?? It grieves me. It grieves me that I took so much for granted when I was younger. When I look around and see people living selfish lives and not giving one thought to our Creator. I grieve for them.

God help me to be a better believer. To share your word. To be an example of your love. For I can only do this through You.
Same, Traci. My first thought after reading this verse was, What a mess we’ve made of things …
And praying the migraine is gone, Traci ❤️
I share your feelings, Traci. I also admit my failure to do my part as kften as I should.
.
Hope you are feeling better!
Adding my amen to your prayer. ❤
It was very good indeed ♥️
Happy Sunday, dears! I pray that we may rest in God’s goodness today ❤️

SEARCHING – I have been catching up this week and now back on track. Thank you for your prayers ❤️
SALLY B – Yesterday’s comment resonated with me. Thank you for pointing out to just BE with God ❤️
Lord thank you that through the redemption of your son you still declare us good and we can be in relationship with you.
But God- Rich in Mercy!
I am thankful he is a God of unending Mercies and Grace! And chances. He is a good, good Father, trying to give his children, his daughter, the unending love but to be trained up right. Boy, I’m I a stubborn, stiff-necked child sometimes- definitely not the good he saw on the 7th day! And it grieves my heart thinking of how HIS HEART must grieve at his creation today!! But God- all-knowing isn’t surprised I suppose, but must shake his head continually and think “I even sent them Jesus, and the Bible…and they don’t even read it. They have my best, and they don’t want it!”
I, for one, am so glad I finally saw the light, and am “right” and “clean” through Jesus, even “righteous!!” “Holy!” THROUGH JESUS!! Nothing I can do on my own to achieve it, no striving, no perfect round! Although I think it makes my Father smile and proud when we are “living our best lives with Him and Jesus!” We want to be about our Father’s business!! I know I am the most fulfilled when I am in alignment with Him and seeing Him move in other people! He is-
the balm for the broken hearted
the love we long for to fill that heart
the beauty from the ashes,
the joy in the mourning! And the JOY throughout the day!!
He is my peace in the valley, my hope I cling to. He is the hug when needed, the anchor in the Storm, and the rainbow in the distance!!
And this is why I hide his word in my heart, scripture in my mind…that it comes so easily the promises of my Lord and Savior.
Have a wonderful Sunday my friends! Let’s join in on our FB page! I have requested that people leave their testimonies because it is good to tell! I think everyone should have “a reason ready to give” when the need arises to share our love for Jesus! Practice and writing it out is good! Sharing brings his people more Faith and Joy!! Let’s magnify our Savior by telling how he has changed our life!! Love ya’ll!
Thank you for this Rhonda! Happy Sunday!
❤
Amen
Thank You, Jesus for testoring those who have called on your name to be “good” in the eyes of God.
.
Rejoice with the Redeemed today.
This is the only time that man is called good. After chapter 3, God no longer describes him as good — humanity is tainted by sin.
We were made in the image of God. Amen
The wonder of the birth of my children is probably as close to what God felt, when He had seen what He had made, and absolutely thought it was very good!❤
.
What amazes me most, is that, that feeling still rings true for God today! I mean, even in the early days He was saddened, and yet.. His loving heart kept on loving!
.
Fast forward some centuries and decades later, He is still loving but is now making changes to what has now become irredeemable. The joy has now become heart breaking. Enter Noah..
.
BUT GOD.
.
Though He made a covenant with Noah, through the restoring of His people on the arc, we continue to be ‘wrong ‘uns still.!
What amazes me is He still sees us and all creation as good..
.
He hasn’t changed.
.
He still loves us as fiercely, as ‘ in the beginning’
.
He sees us still in the beauty He saw, when He first created.
.
He sent His Beloved Son, Jesus, to cover our sins and failures, so we would be brought back to Him, brought close to Him..
.
He loves us, oh, how He loves us, oh, how He loves…
.
Dearest Father God, I will and am forever thankful for your love and the seventy times seven, and then some times, you forgive us and STILL say, it is good, over us. Thank you for the greatest showing of your love for us, JESUS Christ, and all He endured for us so we can know you and Your amazing, forgiving, faithful through the ages love, and grace..grace.. and more grace..
Lord may I endeavour to be as ‘good’ as you see me throughout this week and beyond..
I love you Lord.. Thank you.. Thank you. Thank you from a grateful heart..
.
Amen..
.
