Lesson 1

"In the Beginning"

Genesis 1:1-26

The word provision derives from the word provide, which means to supply.  The word provision means to prepare.  Example- In the beginning our God made provision for man.

Provision comes in many shapes and forms.  Many different packages.  There is story after story in the Word showing us God's provision.

Lets start with creation.  Before man was even created every provision was provided for him.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Light for day and darkness for night. Then He God said "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters. Then God said, "let the earth" bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind. Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens (stars) to divide the day from the night: and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth. Evening and morning were the fourth day.  Our God provided an abundance of living creatures in the waters and birds to fly in the firmament of the heavens.  God also said "let the earth bring forth the living creatures according to its kind:  cattle and every kind of reptile and bugs."  Yes even the bugs have a purpose. 

And THEN God made man.  Oh what a glorious God we have.  He took care of all the needs of Adam and Eve before he created them.  Every detail was put into place before he put man on this earth.  Our Provision started way back in the beginning of time.
