Genesis 1
Today's Scripture

Living in Minnesota as I do, I am privileged to view the amazing changes of the seasons. God's creation is marvelous--and after the long winter, we are enjoying spring with the greening of the land--the grass, bushes and trees. Summer birds have returned, and the warmer weather changes everyone's mood.

So, it is with appreciation and wonder that I re-read the story of how this creation began in Genesis 1. The story is so familiar--yet awesome how God chose to create our world. First he created light and separated light from darkness--making day and night. Next he separated the waters in heaven from the waters from earth, and made dry land appear on earth. He made the sun and the moon, and the creatures of the sea and the air. Then he created the land creatures, and finally, his crowning work was man, in his own image--male and female he created.

God gave the people he created the ability to procreate--he told them to be fruitful and multiply--and also gave them the whole earth. What an amazing gift our world is to us--every day God causes the sun and moon to rise and set--he gives us food from the land--and the beauty of his creation to enjoy. Thank you Lord, for your wonderful gift!
