In Genesis 16, the focus shifts from Abram to his wife, Sarai. All they knew of God's promise was that they would have an heir, so Sarai took the initiative to provide that heir herself by using Hagar, her servant, as a surrogate mother. Sarai's actions revealed a lack of trust in God's ability to provide. God alone was the engineer of Abram and Sarai's destiny, and their attempts to go about it without God paled in comparison to the grandeur of His plan. Once more in Genesis 17, God reminded Abram that He would be the one to bless them, He would give them the promised son, Isaac, He would make their descendants as numerous as the stars, and He would receive all of the glory, God's faithfulness and ability to do what He says overcomes all of our flaws and uncertainties.

God promised to make Abram into a great nation, but Abram and his wife were childless. While Abram waited for God to fulfill His promise, years went by and still no children came. Then God spoke to Abram again, this time making an even more specific promise that Abram would have a son, which would then lead to offspring

as numerous as the stars. Genesis 15:6 says that despite the prolonged years of barrenness, Abram believed God, and that belief made him righteous, or put him in a right relationship with God. Likewise, when we believe the gospel-the death and resurrection of Jesus for our salvation-God considers us righteous, too.

Through Noah's family, the earth was repopulated after the flood, and Genesis 11states that people shared a common language and a common goal-making a name for themselves. As had happened twice before in Genesis 3-10, people who were created by God to glorify Him put their efforts toward glorifying themselves instead.

And yet again, humanity's sin brought God's judgment. But despite the people's continued sinfulness, we see God's covenant love for humanity through the promise He made with Abram in Genesis 12-a promise to bless all the people of the earth through Himself. This promise ultimately found its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who descended through the genealogical line of Abram, and through whom all people have access to the grace and redemption of God.

After being reminded of God's holiness and power, Job could do nothing but confess his sins, turn back to God, and renew his trust in the Lord. He humbly said,"I repent in dust and ashes" (Job 42.6). In the face of God's holiness, we are reminded that apart from Him, we are nothing but dust from the ground, and to dust we will

turn (Gen. 2:7). Yet through Job's experience, we are reminded that God gives physical life through His very breath, and He gives spiritual life through the death and resurrection of His Son. These are gifts we do not deserve, and they motivate us to imitate Job's practice of confession and repentance, continually removing anything from our hearts, thoughts, and lives that keeps us from trusting God in all things.

Last week's reading ended with Job 1-2, which describes the suffering God allowed Job to endure as a way for God to be glorified. In chapters 3-37, Job wrestled with his despair both privately and in the company of friends. In Job 38, God finally speaks. His words to Job were a reminder that the One Job questioned was the Almighty Creator and Sustainer of the universe. Job's story reveals that God is in control, His ways are best, and everything exists to bring glory to Him.

The Book of Job addresses the issue of why God allows suffering in the lives of His people. The early chapters of Genesis describe sin's entrance into and corruption of the world. We also realize that human suffering is an inevitable consequence of sin. Job 1-2 remind us that even the most faithful of God's people are not exempt from suffering and sin. However, these chapters also remind us that because God is sovereign, everything thing - even suffering - has a purpose that ultimately leads to His glory and the fulfillment of His plans. The purpose of Job's suffering was that the world would see the life-transforming power of genuine faith in God.

Genesis 8 - 9 record the aftermath of the flood. Noah and his family faithfully obeyed God, and God faithfully protected them from His judgment. We are reminded of God's love for humans - those He created in His own image. God used Noah's family to once again populate the earth with His people. In what is known as the Noahic

covenant, God promised to never again destroy the earth and its inhabitants with a flood - a promise He has kept to this day. God sealed this promise with a rainbow a sign that God keeps His promises.

It didn't take long for sin to wreak havoc on God's perfect creation. Notice how quickly the human race spiraled in its immorality and corruption. Humanity was created to worship and obey God, and because that no longer took place, God acted in judgment against the world's sin by sending a flood to wipe out the entire human race. In as much as God is just, though, these chapters also give evidence of His mercy through the fact that Noah and his family found favor in God's eyes. He, subsequently, spared their lives. All of Scripture affirms that these two aspects of God's character - His justice and mercy -  remain in perfect harmony at all times.

In these two chapters, we read how God's perfect creation was made imperfect through the cunning deceit of the serpent, or Satan, one of God's own creations who rebelled against Him. The serpent convinced Eve to doubt God's goodness, and in response she disobeyed God and convinced Adam to do the same. We know this event as the fall of man. With that single act of disobedience, sin entered the world. The negative impact of sin is felt in all of creation. Through Adam and Eve, sin became an inevitable part of human nature.
