My resolution this year is to read a chapter a day in God's Word. I like reading in multiple versions to help crystallize my thoughts. I found the New Century Version particularly enlightening for this first chapter.
Two verses stood out for me. The second verse and verse 26 both point to the fact that God the Father wasn't alone in the creative process. The Holy Spirit hovered protectively over the waters at the beginning of the project. Then the first acknowledgment of God's triune nature is clearly seen when 'they' created us in 'their' image and likeness.
This aspect of God as three-in-one is essential in understanding his desire for relationship. And he made us to desire relationship as well!
I look forward to delving deeper into The Word this year.
