And God said.....so it happened

Jim's passage for this week Sunday is Genesis 1:14-25

14And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. 16And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

20And God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens." 21So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." 23And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

24And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." And it was so. 25And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

And God said....Let there be light. Light to show the seasons. Light for the night. Light for the day. Light and Dark were separated. And it was so.

And God said....Let there be water creatures. Let there be air creatures. And it was so.

And God said... Let there be earth creatures. And it was so.

God said it. It happened.
I just think it's so cool. God's word was sufficient.

And God saw that IT WAS GOOD.

And it is, isn't it? When you look at the world around you, can't you see the goodness of God. Despite the effects of sin, it is good isn't it?

I am sometimes amazed at the sheer creativity that God displayed.
Who would have imagined a platypus? Or a giraffe? Whales? Frogs that can change their sex? It's just amazing.

Birds that can fly!
Fish that can swim down so far and NOT be crushed by the water above them.
Animals that can live in harmony with each other.
Ants.... Justin's into a book in ants right now. Seeing how they work together and are busy all the time. Who would have created ants?

And it was all God's doing. He said let there be....and there was. It's just very cool.
