Genesis
As I was doing my quiet time this morning, I realized I really like the Book of Genesis. I was so taken in by the story, which I've heard since I was a little boy. It really shows a lot about God, setting Him up as Creator, Sustainer, and a loving Fulfiller of promises. His people continue disobey, and often he punishes them, but He continues to use them in His plan. Then the book finishes with the beautiful story of Joseph. So many bad things happen to him, each because of bad intentions by other people, but God uses those bad intentions and puts Joseph, who is continually faithful, exactly where He wants him, saving not only Israel, but all of Egypt. That's called grace.
