Very Good

After God had finished creating the world, the universe, the plants, the animals and the humans, He looked at the things He had made, and they were very good. That's true of everything that God does. He's designed the plan of salvation to rescue us from sin. It is very good. Jesus is preparing a place in heaven for us. It will be VERY good. Here on earth, we need to be concerned, when we make a purchase, about the quality of the item we are buying. Not so with God. He does everything very well.

 
 

Thank You, God, for all the good things You do. Thank You that You are dependable will never fail us. Thank You for Your wonderful plan of salvation. Lord, help us to grow more like You.


 

P. S. This will be my last post for a while. I have had other things come up in my life that keep me from updating this blog. May God bless you and keep you inspired to serve Him.

After Their Kind

During the creation, God was careful to mention that he made animals that produced other animals after their kind. This runs completely counter to the theory of evolution, which says that some animals do not produce after their kind. So, we have a contradiction between a theory by Charles Darwin and the Word of the Almighty God of the Universe. Which will we believe? I choose the God of the Universe. His Word is always true. His prophecies have never failed. He is the very embodiment of truth.

 
 

Lord, thank You for showing us truth in the Bible. Thank You that we don't have to wonder about the origin of the earth and all the wonderful animals that You have placed here. Thank You for all the beautiful diversity on our planet.

The Power of the Word of God

I Genesis 1, we have the amazing account of the creation of the world. In six days, the earth went from a formless void covered by water to a vibrant place, teaming with life. What a miracle! It all happened by the power of God's Word. I just had to think what would have happened if mankind had taken on such a project:

  1. Get financing for the project. God doesn't need financing for anything. He has unlimited resources
  2. Years of design work. God only needed to speak and it happened.
  3. Permitting and legal approval. God is the ultimate authority in the universe. He needs approval from no one.
  4. Years to build the project. God did it in six days.
  5. Inspection. God inspected His own work and said it was good.

     
     

    Lord, You are such an amazing God. We stand in awe as we look at what You have done. Help us to remain humble, because in Your site, we are nothing. We praise You for all Your majestic work.
