“Then the Lord God said, ‘Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil.’”

The Mystery of “One of Us”

Have you ever pondered what God meant when He said, “one of Us”?
That phrase reveals the divine counsel of the Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, united in perfect wisdom, holiness, and purpose.

From the beginning, God possessed full knowledge of both good and evil. Yet His knowledge was pure, holy, and untainted, because evil could never corrupt His divine nature. God knew evil only as something to judge and

Then the Lord God said, ‘Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil.

Weekly Reflection Genesis 3:22 NKJV

“Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth, and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.”

Streams from Within: The Living Water of the Holy Spirit

I never cease to be amazed at how I can read a verse for years, and suddenly, one day, it hits me like a brick. It stops me in my tracks until God reveals what He wants me to see.

As I begin this new journey through the Old Testament, I realize that in

Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth, and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

Weekly Reflection Genesis 2:5–6 NIV

Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Have you ever asked why did God planted the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden?  Let’s be real! Everyone who hears, reads, or listens to this part of God’s creation ponder on that

Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.

Weekly Reflection Genesis 2:8-9

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

God is a creator! As a young girl, I often wondered, "Who created God?" This question sparked my journey to understand His nature. In Genesis 1:2, we read, "Now the earth was formless and empty; darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." Jesus further clarifies in John 4:24, stating, "God is

Weekly Reflection Genesis 1:1-2

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

What is our role as a helper in the life of a man?  I read a commentary that was shared from the Key Bible Verses series that said, “The term does not imply that the helper is either stronger or weaker than the one helped.”  They further stated that, “a wife is not her husband’s clone but complements him.” As noted by Herbert Lockyer in his book about all women in the Bible, throughout history men have used the word helper as an inferior word to mistreat women in their pride and

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
