Congratulations. Your gift of a new day is here. Ready to live it big? You're listening to the Big Life

Devotional podcast. Now, here's Pamela to get you fired up for all God has available for you today.

Well, good morning, beautiful. Welcome to a brand new day of life. Happy Monday, my friends. Look at that new day,

new week, blessed to get to be alive today. I am so thankful that you're joining me today.

You're going to be really grateful that you're here today too. We're starting something new,

excited to share it with you.

The title of today's episode of the Big Life Devotional podcast is, Can You Believe It?

Genesis means origin. It's the source, the beginning, where every single thing got its start.

I've always loved the book of Genesis for one simple reason.

It was the book of the Bible I was able to flip right to.

I always felt so proud of myself when a preacher would say,

turn to the book of Genesis and

boom, I'm like, I know where that is. Be the first one there. Genesis is not only the beginning of our

Bible, but it's the beginning of everything. It is our origin. And really, it's pretty wild that we get to read about God's amazing and miraculous acts to create

everything we see today.

No human was alive to see these acts.

We only have this account today because God revealed it later to the author to

record to us. Now we believe that Moses wrote the book of Genesis, but he likely used much

earlier writings to gather his information because, y'all, Moses was not there. Okay, this was way before the time of Moses.

Perhaps Moses was looking at the writings from the first human, Adam. And perhaps Adam received directly

from God the account of creation there in the Garden of Eden.

The words of God were written so that we could read them today.
