I read a devotional Bible that I have read now for the past three years, it divides up the bible into daily readings of about 15 minutes a day and in that time I read, Old and New Testament, a psalm, and some of proverbs. I read it every morning first thing when I get up, just to be able to get my self into scripture every morning. I noticed some things today

In the Old Testament:

• Day One of reading (Genesis 1-2)
  • God created the Earth, and creates the plants and the animals, and man and woman.
  • I am going to make an assumption here that the earth was perfect at this time.
  • Adam and Eve had direct fellowship with God (something we desire, but will not have on this side of glory).
• Day Two of reading (Genesis 3-4)
  • The Serpents temptation of Adam and Eve
  • The fall of humanity to sin.
  • The curse

For the next 363 days I am going to read in the Old Testament the unfolding of God’s plan and preparation for His Son through the Law.

God created the world and gave man mastery over everything and the next thing you know we have lost it all, through the manipulations of the serpent and our own ambition to be God.

What amazes me is that God created the world and created man knowing full well that in a blink of an eye we were going to give everything up to try to become our own god. What pain the God of love must of felt when He lost His creation to sin.

How long was it between the finishing of the creation of the world, to the fall? A day, a week, a month, a year? (Is there a number?)
