At The Beginning

The title is similar to a song i like very much, but i think they have the same meaning. It tells us about our destiny, it tells about our being. Yes, at the beginning, God created everything, and God created us. Genesis 1:26-28 tells that we are God's image. We can do this in our family an at our workplace. That's why, we, ourselves must have a yearning to be like God. And one of the most important things is Family.

There are 4 tendency that will wreck a family relationship (Genesis 3:9-19):

1. Lack of communication(9-12).
   The main reason of a divorce is bad communication. The most basic thing of communication is not talking. This is the most thing we must know. It is listening. And listening means that we have an empathy to the person talking. Even an sexual activity is a communication of body and soul.
2. Devil's attack(14-15). At this verse, it said that the woman and her seed will be an enemy with the devil (the serpent). That's why, from now on, if we have a child, we must train them to not afraid with any shape of the devil. Even, tartaness, insurrection, love for money, poverty and adultery is attacking us. What we can do is (1) Mat 12:28, every family must bring God's kingdom into their family. (2) Mat 18:19, an understanding or agreement!!! A communication is a must. (3) James 5:16, we must always confess our sins each other, so there is no "wall" again between the member of the family.
3. Dispute of the role of the family(16). God said to the woman that she will have a desire to the man. It means to "rule". And this is wrong. Man have his role as the head of the family, as a husband as a father. And woman has her own role too.
   
4. Economic difficulty(17-18). We must have monetary principals. (1) To receive, (2) to manage, (3) to give. We are created for other people. The Jews are accustomed to give the best for God. They never think about "how should i live tomorrow..." What they think is how can i give the best for God. But we are to busy collecting the blessing. We must have giving lifestyle.
