Today's Verse - Genesis 1:27 (KJV)

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

—Genesis 1:27 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...


We are made in God's image. Not just the man. Not just the woman. Both male and female are made in God's image! Incredibly, this is not just true before the Fall. When God made us in the womb of our mothers (Psalm 139:13-16), he made us in his image (Genesis 9:6). Because people are precious to God, because we reflect something of the character of our Creator, each person is to be valued. None is to be denigrated, belittled, or cursed (James 3:9-12). People are precious, not only to God, but also to us because in some special way they reflect his image.

My Prayer...


Almighty Creator, please help me value each person I meet today because I am consciously aware that you have individually made them to reflect your character and nature. At the same time, bless me with spiritual growth as I consciously submit myself to your Spirit as you transform me to be more like you each day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

We do not come from monkeys, the bible clearly tell us that is not true. We were created by God almighty. In His image we were created. Atheists believe a lie and keep telling our children that we come from gorillas and like gorllas will die. O God, please, save the souls of all atheists, agnostics, hedonists and skeptics. In Jesus name. Amen

Love that verse so much. It tell us the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We were created by God with His own image. Let us all keep it holy and pure, just as Jesus would keep His own image.
