Occasionally during this reading plan, we'll take a day off from Genesis to read other passages from the Bible. Before we begin with the creation stories of Genesis 1 and 2 this week, there four other chapters we'll consider that also talk about Creation and the Creator.
Since I have not studied these extra-Genesis chapters as I have Genesis, I will present my entries more as reflections instead of study notes.
Notes on Genesis 1 will be posted by Thursday, and notes on Genesis 2 will be posted by Friday.
Day 1 - Revelation 4
God is Creator and Sustainer and King over all things. All things in heaven and earth exist by his will and for his pleasure.
God is holy.
Day 1 - Job 38
God is Sovereign Lord over all he has created. He is alone in power and authority. No one was present with his when Creation began. He has made all things that have been made. By his power they are sustained. For his glory they are created. By his will they are given purpose. By his word they are given life. It is nothing but pure foolishness and arrogance to suggest to judge him. Only he is judge. Only he is king.

Day 2 - Hebrews 11
Our faith and action is placed on God, Creator and Sustainer of all things. The faithful actions of the ancients were made in obedience to the commands of Sovereign God, whatever the consequences, and without natural confirmation of their results.
Some ruled. Some were killed. All were commended for their faith in the eternal God instead of their temporary circumstances.

Day 3 - John 1
Jesus existed with God and as God before the Creation. All things were made by and through him.
Jesus entered the world that he created, and offered life to everyone through his incarnation.
Jesus is God, the Son of God, who reveals his Father to all who would have faith in him.
Jesus ministry was preceded by testimony by others.
Jesus called followers to him.
Jesus’ followers introduced him to others.
