Genesis Revelations

My Coffee Break is studying Genesis. There have been many interesting revelations to me. We studied Noah last week and the flood. Gen. 8:22 stuck out to me, "As long as the earth remains, there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night." This word is active and alive today especially during this harvest season. My God is amazing.
Just a side note - did you know that Methuselah died the year of the flood? Not sure if he died in the flood or before but I thought that was interesting.
Also, God poses two questions in the first few chapters of Genesis. First to Adam and Eve, "Where are you?" Gen 3:9 Then to Cain, "Where is your brother?"Gen 4:9. God knew the answer to both of those questions, but he asked and waited for them to answer. But I think that God may be asking each of us the same questions today --- Where are you in your spiritual walk? and Where is your brother(friend, co-worker, spouse, child)? What would our answer be? A new thought to ponder.
"Where are you?"
"Where is your brother?"

This really gives me a lot to think about. Thanks for the reminder. God knows where I'm at, but He probably wants me to acknowledge it, too. Great post!
