Today, we begin our year-long journey through the Bible. We’re reading Genesis 1–3 and Matthew 1, and focusing especially on the very first chapter of Genesis. In this opening devotion, we reflect on a simple but powerful truth: God is intentional in everything He does, and that includes your life.

As we read about the creation of the world, we’ll see that nothing God does is by accident. Each day’s reading will be followed by a short devotional that helps us connect God’s Word to our everyday lives.

So wherever you’re starting from, welcome! Let’s take this first step together and discover how God’s intentional design shapes our story.
