Mercy

Today I started a new chronological Bible reading plan, so obviously I started in Genesis. It seems over the course of my life I've probably read this book a dozen times and heard many sermons and talks on it as well. But it never seems to amaze me that something new and very relevant pops out at me.

At the end of the third chapter God is about to banish Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden after their disobedience(sin). However, I found it interesting what he does just before that.

"And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them." Genesis 3:21 ESV

I think it is so cool that God in the midst of our sin and consequences takes the take to provide for our need. He is mercy and He is faithful.

*One struggle I have in my personal bible study time is knowing what to read. Sometime you have to get yourself on a plan. I hate scheduling things but you do what you have to do. Anyway if you need a good resource for reading guides or plans, check out this website. It's definitely one of the best resources I've come across lately and if you're really tech-savvy they have apps for your phone. When it's this easy you can't have any excuse when it come to studying your Bible.
