Creating the World

Good Morning!

Today I was thinking that its been awhile since I"ve read about God creating the Heavens and the Earth and everything in it. So I flipped my Bible to the very beginning and read again how AMAZING and creative our God is!

These are long verses so I'm not going to type them all out I'll just kind of skim through, but I encourage you to go back and read Genesis chapters 1 and 2! Pretty cool stuff!

Genesis 1:1-3, 6-7, 11, 13,24, 26-28,
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of the God was hovering over the waters.

And God said "Let there be light" and there was light.

And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so.

Then God said "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. And it was so. And there was evening, and there was morning on the third day.

And God said, ":Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind" And it was so.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Genesis 2:2-3
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

How amazing is it that God created the World and everything in it?! He just spoke the words and "it was so"! We have one awesome God! And on the 7th day he rested! Thats what he commands us to do as well...work all week and on the 7th day we rest.

Thank God today for everything He has created!
